Descripción del empleo

This is a great opportunity for a Senior Associate or Special Counsel Corporate & Commercial Lawyer looking for the right balance between career and lifestyle:

• Interesting and complex work with major ASX listed, national and international clients
• Collaboration with a team of very high-quality and experienced peers (all 15+ years PQE and all joined from major international and mid-tier firms
• No billable hour targets
• Flexibility to work from home full-time, and
• A genuine path to Partnership.

This Corporate & Commercial firm was established from the outset as a fully remote practice, with everyone working from home. This means the culture, communication and way the team works together have all been built around remote working. Their processes encourage collaboration on matters, so even though staff members are based up and down the East Coast of Australia, their systems and culture are such that they remain connected - creating a sense of inclusion, support and belonging.

The firm maintains a relatively even split between corporate and commercial work, including private M&As (typically $10m-$100m), capital raisings and IPOs, ASX listing advice, and a significant commercial contracting and advisory practice.

Their clients often engage the team on monthly retainers, using them as an extension of their internal legal function. For some clients, the firm effectively operates as their outsourced legal team, so you get to know how your clients' businesses actually operate and get involved in the day-to-day issues they face, rather than working only on discrete instructions.

This is an industry-agnostic practice, however, a significant part of the firm's growth is coming from software and technology clients. As such, experience dealing with tech-sector clients would be advantageous but not essential.

We are ideally looking for a Special Counsel level M&A and Commercial Lawyer, though we would also consider a strong Senior Associate. The key is autonomy. You need to be comfortable owning matters, settling your own work and dealing directly with clients.

This is a team of mature professionals who operate on a culture of trust and acknowledge the demands of life outside work, whether it be family, study or other outside passions. This enables flexibility around how, where and when their people work, provided they deliver on deadlines and client needs.

They have spaces in Brisbane and Melbourne that a couple of their Senior Lawyers use when they want to get out of their home offices. These are available to anyone who wants to use them, but it's not required if you'd rather WFH.
