Job description

Associate / Senior Associate - Energy | Leading International Law Firm | Melbourne or Sydney

Run the deals that make front-page news. Do it on a genuinely global platform.

Energy transition isn't a side practice at this firm. The Australian team has run some of the country's largest renewables M&A transactions of the past two years. This is where corporate and M&A lawyers go to work on deals that actually shape the market, not follow it.

Why this role stands out:

• Genuinely global cross-border deal flow. No purely domestic firm can match it.
• Direct partner and client exposure from day one, working alongside a highly regarded national energy leadership team.
• A client base of major Australian and global companies, fund managers, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds backing the energy transition and critical minerals.

What you'll do:

• Run market-leading transactions within the national Energy practice
• Lead significant aspects of complex energy and resources matters
• Drive strategy directly with partners and clients
• Mentor and develop junior lawyers
• Help grow client relationships through proactive business development

What you'll bring:

• 2-8 years' PQE from a top-tier or leading international firm
• A strong track record on complex energy and resources transactions
• Energy experience is a plus
• A commercial mindset and appetite for business development
