Senior Commercial Lawyer

11 hours ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia empire group Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

THE FIRM

This mid-sized Melbourne firm is known for its genuinely respectful culture and commitment to quality - both in legal work and client relationships.

They prioritise substance over show: no rigid billables, no micromanagement, just smart lawyers doing great work. The team is down-to-earth, commercially savvy, and trusted by long-standing clients across multiple practice areas.

Lawyers here are encouraged to work in a way that suits their strengths. The firm's ethos is built around delivering excellent legal services, building lasting relationships, and earning referrals through trust and results - not pressure.

THE ROLE

The Commercial Law team acts for a broad mix of clients - from investors and entrepreneurs to family businesses, SMEs, and larger corporates.

They advise across industries and deliver both transactional and strategic work. The firm is now looking to bring on an experienced Commercial Lawyer who understands how to meet client needs and offer practical, business-minded advice.

The role will be shaped around your experience and client base, but will likely include:

  • Drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, loan and security documents
  • Corporate structuring, including complex shareholder and unitholder arrangements
  • Asset and share sales, joint ventures, governance, and M&A

YOU

You're a confident, commercially-minded lawyer - ideally at Senior Associate or Special Counsel level - with solid experience in commercial law and a genuine interest in helping clients succeed.

A small portable client base would be welcomed, but there's also work ready to be referred your way. You're motivated, professional, and ready to grow your practice in a firm that supports autonomy and career progression.

THE BENEFITS

  • Competitive salary package
  • Long-standing, loyal client base
  • Flexible working arrangements and family-friendly culture
  • Strong commitment to learning and development
  • Opportunity to build a high-performing practice with proper support
  • Collaborative, energetic team and a genuinely good place to work
