About You
We’re keen to hear from Associates and Senior Associates with approximately 2 to 8 years’ PAE and a solid grounding in Corporate & Commercial law.

You’ll ideally bring experience across front-end corporate matters, a strong understanding of the Corporations Act, and confidence in contract drafting, transactions and corporate compliance.

Most importantly, you’ll be looking for a role that offers greater variety, quality work and genuine career progression, within a team where you’ll be supported to continue developing your practice.

  • Hybrid working with firm-provided devices
  • Catered onsite breakfasts
