We are seeking a Corporate Associate or Senior Associate to join an acclaimed team in Brisbane. This role offers a clear, merit-based pathway for promotions, free from the constraints of a top-heavy or stagnant structure.

  • Corporate Governance (approx. 10%)
  • ASIC Investigations (approx. 5%)
  • Company Secretarial (approx. 5%)

While being mentored by a highly respected Partner, you will service an established blue-chip client base, applying your expertise to complex matters and engaging directly with clients to deliver strategic, commercially focused outcomes.

About You:

The ideal candidate will be a Corporate lawyer with:

  • 3+ years of PAE in corporate law, with a background in M&A and/or Equity Capital Markets.
  • Currently at the Associate or Senior Associate level (or a Lawyer about to be promoted to Associate)
  • A client-focused approach and a passion for delivering excellent commercial outcomes.

What's on Offer:

This firm combines national reach with a supportive and collegial culture. Benefits include:

  • Accelerated Career Growth: A true meritocracy with structured career planning and no lock-step tenure requirements for promotions. Progression is based on merit and contribution.
  • Market-Leading Remuneration: A competitive salary and a transparent, generous bonus scheme.
  • Superior Work-Life Balance: A firm-wide hybrid policy (3 days in office) with team-specific flexibility.
  • Enhanced Parental Leave: 26 weeks of paid parental leave after just 6 months of service.
  • Inclusive & Social Culture: Regular wellness initiatives, social clubs, firm-wide events, and a down-to-earth, supportive environment.
