Cairns, Australia ClearCompany Full time

The Firm:

This well-established boutique firm on Brisbane’s southside has built a strong reputation for practical, high-quality legal advice across property, commercial and estates work.

With a loyal client base built over decades, the firm is known for its down-to-earth culture, steady workflow, and sensible charge-out rates. Lawyers here value autonomy, trust and teamwork – not hierarchy or internal politics.

The Role:

Due to upcoming succession planning, the firm is looking for an experienced property and commercial lawyer to step into a key client-facing role. You’ll take over an existing client portfolio and enjoy a genuine pathway to partnership in the near term.

The work is broad and interesting, including:

- Residential and commercial property sales and acquisitions
- Off-the-plan, subdivisions, easements and development work
- Commercial and retail leasing (including shopping centre leasing)
- FIRB, GST and stamp duty issues
- Body corporate, CMS/BMS and management rights matters
- Agricultural and rural transactions
- General commercial and corporate work, trusts and business sales
- Wills, estates and small dispute matters (as desired)

This is a role for a capable all-rounder who enjoys variety and client relationships as much as the legal work itself.

About You:

You’ll ideally have:

- At least 5 years’ PAE in property and commercial law (more senior applicants very welcome)
- Strong technical ability with a practical, solutions-focused mindset
- Confidence dealing directly with clients and running matters independently
- Interest in developing a practice and moving into partnership

Benefits:

- Genuine near-term partnership succession opportunity
- Broad, engaging mix of work – property, commercial, estates
- Supportive Partners and collegial, politics-free culture
- Loyal, steady client base
- Sensible charge-out rates and realistic work hours
- Southside Brisbane location – avoid the CBD commute
