Job description

For the Real Estate Lawyer Who Wants the Full Package

You've built solid transactional real estate experience and you're ready for the next step. One where the work is genuinely significant, the team is highly ranked, and the culture matches the calibre of the practice.

The Firm

A world-leading global law firm with a transatlantic and transpacific footprint spanning the largest markets, key financial centres, and major growth hubs. Recognised for complex litigation, exacting regulatory work, and significant public and private market transactions. The Brisbane Real Estate team holds a Band 1 ranking and sits within a market-leading national practice.

The Timing

The team is busy across a strong pipeline of work and is looking for an experienced lawyer to step into a senior role alongside highly ranked partners. It's a moment of genuine growth, for the practice and for the right person joining it.

The Work Itself

One matter might involve advising a major institutional investor on a multi-jurisdictional portfolio acquisition. Another could see you working on an urban regeneration project alongside government agencies and developers. Another still might be a build-to-rent development, a logistics asset, a hotel transaction, or a renewable energy project. The asset classes range across commercial office, retail, social and affordable housing, infrastructure, and leisure.

Clients include large Australian and offshore developers, real estate funds, investors, and government agencies, and the work spans single assets right through to some of the most significant property deals in the country.

Where You'll Land

A collaborative Brisbane office contributing to the broader national practice, with a culture that backs flexible working across the board. 5 weeks paid annual leave with the option to purchase more, 26 weeks paid parental leave, paid study assistance, discounted gym memberships, and a wellbeing fund and home office allowance. Structured learning, mentoring, and on-the-job development sit alongside a genuine investment in the people the firm hires.

Sound Like You?

You'll bring demonstrable transactional real estate experience from a top-tier, mid-tier, national, or boutique specialist firm, with 3+ years post-admission and the right to practise in Australia or New Zealand. A strong academic record, sharp attention to detail, and ability to navigate complex matters are non-negotiable. You're proactive, curious about AI and emerging technologies, and eager to help maintain a market-leading practice.
