Job description

• Highly regarded Australian commercial law firm
• Top-of-market remuneration and leading benefits

The practice advises founders, private groups, investors and listed companies on acquisitions, divestments, capital raisings, restructures and other significant corporate transactions. Many matters are high-value, complex and strategically important, with the team regularly competing against some of Australia's largest law firms.

What sets this opportunity apart is the level of ownership lawyers are given. Rather than operating in a narrow section of a transaction, lawyers are encouraged to take on a broader role, manage key workstreams, build direct client relationships and gain exposure to the commercial and strategic drivers behind each deal.

Why Join?

• Work on a diverse mix of corporate and M&A transactions, from complex, high-value deals competing with top-tier and international firms to mid-market transactions where you can take greater ownership of the entire transaction lifecycle, from initial structuring discussions through to negotiation and completion (depending on your level).
• Enjoy top-of-market remuneration and leading benefits
• Gain direct exposure to founders, boards, investors and senior decision-makers
• Develop the skills to run transactions and manage client relationships earlier in your career
• Work closely with approachable and highly regarded partners
• Join a collaborative team that values commercial judgement, initiative and quality work

The Opportunity

You will advise on a broad range of matters, including:

• Private M&A transactions
• Business acquisitions and disposals
• Shareholder and joint venture arrangements
• Capital raisings and investment transactions
• Corporate restructures
• General corporate and commercial advisory work

About You

• Corporate / M&A experience gained within a well-regarded law firm
• Excellent academic results
• Strong technical foundations and commercial judgement
• The ability to build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues
• The partners are open to lawyers in Melbourne and Sydney
