Sydney, New South Wales, Australia AFL Recruitment Full time

A lucrative opportunity awaits an ambitious and entrepreneurial Senior Commercial Lawyer to lead our commercial law practice.

We are a highly impressive, multi-award-winning, forward-thinking, nimble, young, vibrant, and close-knit multi-disciplinary law firm undergoing continuous exciting growth.

Our existing diverse COMMERCIAL LAW practice comprises commercial transactions, commercial & construction litigation, property/conveyancing, and succession law. It's now time to onboard a practice leader to take full ownership and drive further growth of this practice, managing a team of lawyers/paralegals.

You will love the variety and challenge of running your own 'show', leading a winning team, and engaging in business development to further grow the commercial law practice across multiple areas:

  • Commercial transactions - buying/selling businesses, business structures, advising on directors/shareholders issues, corporate restructures, joint ventures, licensing/distribution, intellectual property, franchising, employment law, consumer/trade practices law, and trusts;
  • Property law - conveyancing and leases;
  • Commercial litigation - debt recovery, insolvency/bankruptcy, general commercial contractual disputes, and construction disputes.

As a key person in our reputable fast-growing firm, you will have input into strategic business decision-making relating to the commercial practice. You will also enjoy a ground-level opportunity to take full ownership of the commercial law practice, walk into an existing commercial law practice immediately, and grow the practice and clients over time.

We offer a competitive salary range of $160,000-$230,000 plus a lucrative performance bonus, guaranteed extra $$ for each year of service, and generous financial support (up to $10K/year) for further education/studies. You will also enjoy flexibility, with the option to work from home part-time.

We are interested in hearing from experienced professionals who:

  • Are a seasoned Partner/Principal looking to make a change or a sole practitioner transitioning back to a larger team; OR an ambitious entrepreneurial Senior Associate/Special Counsel looking to step up;
  • Have proven experience in commercial law transactions (essential) and preferably any one or more of: commercial litigation, construction law, property law, and succession law;
  • Have a transferable client base or a proven track record in business development/marketing and are willing/able to engage in such to grow the practice;
  • Have strong technical legal drafting and negotiation skills, commercial acumen, and ability to provide practical relevant advice;
  • Proven ability to lead and effectively manage client relationships;
  • Are entrepreneurial, ambitious, self-driven, and desire to be a KEY PERSON of a reputable fast-growing firm and share in the rewards.

This is an excellent opportunity to join our dynamic team and contribute to our continued success. If you possess the necessary skills and qualifications, we encourage you to apply.
