About the role

If you thrive on high-impact M&A, capital markets, and complex commercial negotiations, this role offers the challenge you're looking for.

About you

You're a motivated Associate or Senior Associate with 4-7 years' PAE, with broad experience across M&A, capital market transactions, commercial agreement negotiations and general corporate advisory.

We think you'll thrive in this role if you are:

  • Adept at building and developing client relationships
  • Proud of strong service skills and a pragmatic approach to achieving the best outcomes for clients
  • Possess well-developed drafting and research skills
  • Able to manage files with appropriate supervision and guidance from senior team members
