Jobbeschreibung

For more than 20 years, KordaMentha has supported businesses through some of their most complex matters and opportunities. Founder owned and led; we are an advisory firm that helps corporations, financiers, lawyers, private investors and government clients to grow, protect and recover value.

That’s what we do, but it’s how we do this that makes us who we are.

Proudly independent, strategically local, and with a bias for action to get things done, we focus on doing what is right by our clients, our people, and the wider community. Our track record shows that we help navigate the best path forward in challenging times, and do so across cities, regions and territories.

In the most stressful or demanding environments, we continue to drive change where it really counts.

Job Description

Senior roles that offer real influence, close collaboration with Partners and the chance to help shape a growing national practice don't come along often.

Influence that counts. You'll be a trusted adviser on high-stakes matters, shaping strategy and outcomes that help clients achieve their goals and deliver lasting impact.

Grow as a leader. You'll work side by side with the Partner and senior industry experts, with dedicated mentoring and clear development opportunities to help you take your next step.

A national platform. You'll collaborate with colleagues across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore and our other service lines to deliver integrated client solutions.

Lead on technology. You'll lead the adoption of AI-assisted review, advanced analytics and technology-assisted review (TAR) across the team.

A culture that backs you. You'll join a collaborative, inclusive team where knowledge is shared openly and people work together to help each other succeed.
