About the Team
Our national Real Estate group provides legal services to many of Australia\'s leading institutional and corporate groups, including real estate funds and managers, domestic and foreign private investors, developers and multinational corporations within each distinct state-based legislative environment.
We act for the real estate industry\'s key players, providing our clients with advice on their most innovative and complex transactions and projects. We offer our clients comprehensive experience in acquisitions and disposals, development, projects, leasing and financing across a range of asset classes including office, industrial and logistics, residential and retail properties.
About the Role
Our Real Estate team is growing, and an opportunity exists for an Associate to join our Sydney office. This role will work closely with our key clients on large scale and complex cross-jurisdictional real estate transactions. It is a significant career opportunity for the right person, providing the opportunity to stretch yourself with challenging, dynamic and complex legal work.
As an Associate, you will be responsible for drafting and reviewing contracts for sale, leases and agreements for lease, undertaking due diligence investigations and preparing due diligence reports, attending settlements, assisting with negotiations and providing strategic legal project management advice on complex real estate transactions.

You obviously have plenty of technical aptitude and previous relevant experience, but there is much more to you. You:
- deliver legal advice with a commercial and client focused outlook, always;
- work well under pressure, meet your deadlines and excel working in a team;
- have the ability to manage files and clients, including having carriage over the matters from start to close, under partner supervision;
- have strong communication and stakeholder management skills and you aren\'t afraid to use them, internally and externally;
- take a proactive, collaborative, positive and energetic approach to everything you do;
- have 2-5 years PQE real estate experience gained in a private practice environment.
Working at JWS
We value collaboration and our teams work together to achieve shared outcomes. We care about the wellbeing of our people and will invest time in understanding your objectives so we can support you throughout your career. We believe it\'s this focus on our people that has seen our firm grow rapidly to become one of Australia\'s leading independent law firms.
We pride ourselves on being down-to-earth, approachable, and always high-performing. We have worked hard to create a culture where people look out for each other.
We offer:
- A collegiate environment with a collaborative culture across offices and practice groups
- High-quality work with committed mentors supporting your career development
- Comprehensive benefits including competitive remuneration, flexible working, and extensive social and wellbeing initiatives
- Opportunities for professional growth through structured learning and development programs, pro bono work, and employee recognition initiatives
If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to take your career to the next level, then we would love to hear from you.
We are committed to promoting a workplace that is diverse and inclusive. We encourage the best people — regardless of race, religion, or belief if any, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, or age — to fulfil their professional aspirations with us. In particular we would welcome applications from First Nations candidates.
Johnson Winter Slattery pays respect to Elders past and present of our nation's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We honour the deep spiritual, cultural and customary connections of Traditional Owners to the Australian landscape, including Australia's waterways, land, and sea country.
