Sydney, New South Wales, Australia PQE Partners Full time
Overview

PQE Partners are representing a high-profile organisation with a strong mandate to support strategic investments and large-scale projects across Australia and overseas.

We are seeking a Legal Counsel to join their Sydney-based team on a permanent basis. This role offers the opportunity to work on high-value, complex and often first-of-their-kind transactions that shape the commercial and investment landscape.

Having successfully placed many people across this business and team, I can give genuine insights into the work, culture and support you through the recruitment process.

Key Responsibilities

  • Advise on a diverse pipeline of complex transactions, including equity investments, structured finance and large-scale corporate deals.
  • Draft, review and negotiate sophisticated transaction documents.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders across the business and externally to deliver commercially sound outcomes.
  • Navigate novel legal issues with creativity and technical rigour.

About You

You will bring at least 4 years' PQE from a top or mid-tier law firm, investment fund or large financial institution. Experience in private equity, funds finance, corporate/M&A or structured transactions will be highly regarded.

Strong technical drafting and negotiation skills are essential, as is the ability to communicate complex legal issues clearly to non-legal stakeholders. A current Australian practising certificate is required.

What's on Offer

This is an opportunity to take your career to the next level, working on transactions that matter. You will be part of a collegiate and high-performing team, where the quality of work is matched by the sense of purpose and impact.
