THE OPPORTUNITY

You’ll advise clients across government, financial services, technology and health, while developing greater autonomy and the opportunity to mentor junior lawyers.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll ideally have 4+ years’ PAE with experience across technology, TMT and/or broader commercial matters.

You’ll bring:

• Strong drafting and negotiation skills
• Experience advising on complex commercial agreements
• Practical and commercially focused judgement
• An interest in technology and emerging areas of law
• Confidence working directly with clients
• A collaborative approach.

WHY MAKE THE MOVE?

This firm offers the combination of high-quality work, genuine career progression and flexibility, including:

• National-level matters involving sophisticated and evolving areas of technology
• Merit-based progression supported by structured 180-day career forecasting
• Excellent mentoring through a strong solicitor-to-partner ratio
• Flexible working with a 3:2 office/WFH model, team dependent
• Competitive remuneration plus a structured bonus scheme
• 26 weeks’ parental leave after six months
• Collaborative, down-to-earth culture
• Modern Brisbane CBD offices, including individual offices for lawyers

This is an opportunity to build genuine depth in technology, digital platforms, payments, privacy and data while developing your career within a leading national practice.

We also partner with firms on a range of unadvertised opportunities across private practice and in-house and would be happy to discuss the broader market with you.
