Corporate and Commercial - 3+ yrs PQE

About the Role
If you're a commercially minded lawyer with 3+ years post admission experience and looking to step into a role where your input is valued and your development is a priority, this is an exceptional opportunity. You’ll work directly with clients across a broad range of industries, delivering practical and strategic legal advice on complex commercial and corporate matters.

This is a role that offers not just variety, but autonomy – all within a close knit, expert team that’s committed to breaking down traditional legal barriers and building genuine client relationships.

What You’ll Be Working On
A dynamic mix of corporate and commercial work, including:

Commercial

• M&A transactions and deal structuring
• Shareholder and equity holder agreements
• General commercial contracts and advice
• Finance and security documentation
• Business and investment structuring

Corporate

• Corporations Act and corporate governance advice
• Director/shareholder matters, capital management, and securities offerings
• Financial Services Licensing and disclosure obligations
• Employee Incentive Schemes (including tax-aware structuring of share and option plans)
• Supporting documentation such as Term Sheets, NDAs, Employment Agreements, Novation and Assignment Deeds

You’ll work with a diverse client base including startups, established private companies, high growth ventures, and sophisticated investors – giving you exposure to both day-to-day advisory work and high value transactions.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years post admission experience in commercial and corporate law
• Strong drafting, analytical and communication skills
• A commercial mindset and genuine interest in your clients’ businesses
• Ability to manage competing priorities with confidence
• A proactive, collaborative and flexible working style
• Interest in working in a non-traditional firm environment – this firm values innovation over hierarchy
• A team player who values relationships, both internal and external

Why This Role Stands Out

• Autonomy & Ownership – You'll run your own matters with the full support of the team
• Direct Client Access – Be the trusted advisor, not just a backroom drafter
• No Billable Hour Budgets – This firm measures value by quality, not time
• Genuine Flexibility – The team will trust you to work how and when you work best
• Supportive Culture – Join a down to earth team that believes legal practice should be people-first
• Mentoring & Growth – Real guidance from experienced senior lawyers who want to see you thrive
• Competitive Salary – Reviewed regularly and aligned with experience and contribution

The Team & Culture
You’ll be part of a high performing boutique firm that combines top-tier capability with a human approach. The culture is collaborative, relaxed, and ambitious – they love what they do, and they’re proud of how they do it. If you’re looking for a place where your voice is heard, your ideas are welcomed, and your wellbeing is respected, you’ll fit right in.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary package
• Flexible working arrangements (remote and in-office)
• Supportive, values driven culture
• No individual billables targets
• Access to a great mix of advisory and transactional work
• A firm that invests in your long-term career, not just your current role
