Job description
THE FIRM
A highly regarded mid-sized commercial law firm with a standout reputation in property and development work. The practice is known for its fast-paced, high-standards environment, long tenured lawyers and genuine focus on retention and development. Large enough to act on complex, premium matters, yet agile and human in its approach, the firm attracts senior lawyers from big law backgrounds who are seeking autonomy, balance and a clearer pathway forward.
THE ROLE
An active opportunity has arisen for a Senior Associate or Special Counsel property lawyer to step into a true 2IC position within a busy and growing property team. This is a hands on, autonomous role with full carriage of matters, direct client relationships and the opportunity to influence how the practice operates, including improving precedents, workflows and efficiencies.
The work is predominantly commercial property and development focused, including high value transactions, developments and commercial leasing. Clients are sophisticated and include property developers, retirement living operators and hospitality clients. You’ll be supported by experienced associates, highly capable clerks and dedicated assistants, while also playing a key role in mentoring and leadership within the team.
This role suits a senior lawyer who can hit the ground running, enjoys independence, and is motivated by quality work rather than volume for volume’s sake. Partnership is genuinely on the table for the right person with a developing practice.
THE BENEFITS
How to Apply

Alternatively, you can contact Hollie Vater on (03) 9077 7491 / [email protected] for a confidential chat.
