Property Lawyer | Associate - Special Counsel

A property team where your career actually gets attention.

Looking for a role where you can do genuinely high-quality property work, have a voice in the team and know exactly where your career can go next? This could be the one.

I'm working with a highly regarded Melbourne firm whose Property team is growing and looking to add another talented lawyer. This is a new position, not a replacement, created as the team continues to grow.

Why you’ll love it

• High-quality, varied work across leasing, transactions and development for developers, businesses and high-net-worth clients.
• Genuine career progression with structured development plans, clear goals and regular feedback to help you move towards the next level.
• A seriously good culture – highly engaged partners, strong mentorship, a collegiate team and a social calendar that includes sporting events, paint nights, comedy festivals and plenty more.

The partners genuinely invest in their people. They communicate regularly, welcome new ideas and give their lawyers real opportunities to contribute, develop and advance. There is a great balance between autonomy and collaboration, with plenty of senior support around you.

You’ll join a team that works hard, gets along exceptionally well and genuinely enjoys working together.

You’ll work across a broad property practice including:

• Commercial and retail leasing
• Property transactions
• Development projects
• Advisory work for developers and businesses
• High-net-worth client matters

They’re open to Associates ready for the step up, Senior Associates and Special Counsel. Trusts and fiduciary experience is not essential for Special Counsel level.

For senior lawyers, there is also the opportunity to mentor junior team members and play a meaningful role in the continued growth of the practice.

What’s on offer?

• WFH flexibility 
• Achievable daily billable target
• Structured career progression
• Annual salary and performance reviews
• Internal CPD and development opportunities
• EAP and wellbeing initiatives
• Purchased leave
• Genuinely family-friendly culture
• Regular team and social events

Personality is key. If you’re personable, collaborative and ambitious, and want to be somewhere that genuinely invests in your career, I’d love to tell you more about this role! It is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing Property team at a really exciting point in its development.
