3 weeks ago


Adelaide, South Australia Cowell Clarke Pty Full time
Cowell Clarke is a fast growing specialist commercial law firm based in Australia. With a team of over 185 professionals in offices in Adelaide and Sydney, we represent clients across various industries both nationally and internationally. Our firm takes pride in fostering a positive culture that empowers our employees to excel.

Founded over 30 years ago, we set out to disrupt the traditional reactive approach of commercial law firms by offering exceptional personal service with a proactive, global perspective. Although we have expanded to build a national presence, our commitment to helping clients seize opportunities and manage risks remains unchanged.

About the role

Our Financial Services team in Adelaide is seeking a Lawyer to join the team. Working closely with our team of financial services Directors and Lawyers, this role will see you support the delivery of complex and innovative regulatory, corporate and transactional advice to a wide range of clients in the financial services sector, across areas such as:

Corporations Act obligations

AML/CTF compliance

Data security and emerging regulatory issues

Financial services licensing, fundraising and digital asset matters

This role will give you exposure to regulatory frameworks, the chance to interact with regulators (including ASIC and AUSTRAC), exposure to corporate law and leading edge financial services and products such as investment platforms, investment funds, digital assets and fintech and an opportunity to contribute to our forward-thinking approach to service delivery—using technology to deliver efficient, tailored legal solutions.

This is a great opportunity to build a long-term career in financial services regulation while developing a strong commercial grounding. You'll also have the opportunity for client contact and to be involved in broader corporate and commercial work and to be mentored by financial services specialists who are leaders in their field.

About you

We're open to lawyers who are newly admitted or have up to 2 years of post-admission experience. Experience in financial services is not essential, but an interest in regulatory and compliance work is key.

To succeed in this role, you will be:

Admitted to practice as a lawyer in Australia

Genuinely interested in financial services regulation and innovation in legal service delivery

Comfortable working across corporate and commercial matters

Keen to develop expertise in licensing, fundraising, digital assets, funds management and compliance

Collaborative, curious, and commercially minded

Willing to learn and contribute to a close-knit, high-performing team

What will we offer you?

Cowell Clarke offers a broad range of financial and social benefits in addition to market leading careers and professional development programs. We're focused on developing our people's careers whilst ensuring they maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Some of our many employee benefits include broad learning & development opportunities, social clubs, sporting & team events, wellbeing and family support, e.g. discounts to gym memberships & private health insurance, paid parental leave and the option to purchase additional leave.
