Job description

About Dentons

Dentons is the world’s largest law firm. We’re 20,000+ people globally across 80+ countries including USA; Europe; India and Asia. We are a global polycentric firm which is expanding rapidly in an increasingly globalised legal industry.

Dentons now consistently ranks as one of the five best regarded legal brands in the world according to the Acritas Global Elite Law Firm Brand Index.

About the Team

The Adelaide Dentons' Real Estate team is a market leader, boasting a client portfolio and landmark-matters across the State which is second-to-none, and only growing. To mention but a few, our team works across Market Square, Lot Fourteen, Brompton Gasworks and South Beach. We are looking for an enthusiastic practitioner to join the team, whether based in Adelaide or interstate (see below).

Broadly, the team works on:

• Major developments and large-scale projects
• Major acquisitions and divestments
• Commercial, retail, and industrial leasing
• Strategic property advice

You will work closely with highly regarded down-to-earth Partners, gaining exposure to premium clients and sophisticated transactions – and working hand-in-hand with multiple teams across the Dentons practice groups and offices (both nationally and internationally).

About the Opportunity

This is your opportunity to join a team that is bursting at the seams with high-quality work and opportunities. In one of the Partner's words, “We have, as a team, never had the breadth and quality of work in the 18 years I have been here – the opportunities are amazing!”. You will work on a broad mix of high-quality matters, including:

• Major property developments
• Major acquisitions and disposals
• Commercial, retail, and industrial leasing
• Agricultural transactions
• Property advisory

You will work in a collaborative and supportive environment with clear progression pathways. Our Partners work together with the team and with each other across the client portfolio – team members are not siloed to Partners, and work collaboratively with other teams.

About You

We are seeking a technically strong and commercially minded lawyer who is looking to accelerate their career within a global platform.

• 4-7 years' PQE in property law (from a reputable Australian law firm);

• Strong transactional experience, to join a well established transactions team;
• The ability to work well both autonomously and within a team;
• Excellent communication and client relationship skills; and
• High attention to detail and a proactive mindset.

This opportunity is open to lawyers matching the above criteria who are ideally based in Adelaide, but we are also keen to hear from those based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
