About the team
Our property practice is amongst the leading Australian practices and our Melbourne team works with clients on a range of transactions including renewable energy projects, property developments, tenancy pre-commitments for office and warehouse developments, complex leasing, capital transactions and land acquisitions and sales for development.

About the role
We are seeking a Senior Associate to work alongside one of our experienced partners in managing a range of property transactions.

Currently the team is working with listed and global clients across a range of sectors including listed property groups, some of the world's largest renewable energy developers, property developers, biotechnology and medical research companies and logistics companies.

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior lawyer seeking to undertake broad and complex property work within a role offering autonomy to run matters in a supportive team.

About you

More specifically your experience will include:

  • drafting and negotiating agreements for lease of commercial offices and industrial premises (for developments and existing buildings)
  • land acquisitions and leasing for renewables projects (solar farm, battery, windfarm). This includes options to purchase, options to lease, agreements for lease, leases
  • capital transactions including drafting and negotiating contracts of sale (for vendor and purchaser) of commercial properties and sales and acquisitions of development sites
  • leasing of commercial offices and industrial warehouses
  • property due diligence for property acquisitions and preparing due diligence reports
  • easements and land subdivisions

Capabilities:

  • Working autonomously – whilst Partner support and guidance will be readily available, you must have experience running files on your own, including drafting or reviewing/advising on documents and conducting negotiations
  • Excellent drafting skills are essential. Complex drafting will be required and an ability to conceptualise complex issues
  • Demonstrated ability to build and retain strong client relationships – those with a transferrable practice/clients will be considered favourably
