About Gilbert + Tobin (G+T)

Gilbert + Tobin is built on enduring values of excellence, trust, respect, integrity and good corporate citizenship. We are a leading firm with over 500 lawyers, trusted by our clients to navigate today's increasingly complex world.

We are purpose-built for our clients' most complex work – across transactions, disputes and regulation. Our partners are leaders in their fields, delivering the highest quality of legal advice and providing an exceptional edge for our clients. They also provide our lawyers the opportunity to work with and learn from them. We are innovators in the use of technology, redefining value and service in the legal industry.

Our open, merit-based culture attracts and inspires the best legal talent. Founded in 1988, G+T's journey has been one of relentless ambition and rapid progress, achieving extraordinary success in just over three decades.

We remain as determined as ever to be the best it's possible to be.

About our Real Assets team

Our Real Assets team operates at the intersection of infrastructure, real estate, private capital and corporate M&A. We advise institutional investors, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds and global asset managers on some of the most complex and high-value transactions in the market.

You will work directly with Ben Cosentino, a leading partner who has helped close over $40 billion in real asset M&A deals, including:

  • Blackstone's $24 billion acquisition of AirTrunk, the largest global data centre deal
  • Blackstone's $10 billion take-private of Crown Resorts (ASX: CWN)
  • The $3.8 billion dual-track disposal of the Milestone logistics platform to ESR, the largest direct real estate deal in Australian history
  • Major joint ventures and platform transactions across the logistics, living, student accommodation, healthcare and commercial sectors

You will be exposed to large-scale, strategic transactions across the real estate and infrastructure asset classes, often working alongside international counsel and investment teams.

About you

As our ideal candidate, you're eager to work on high-profile and technically challenging transactions in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. You'll bring:

  • At least five years' post-admission experience in mergers and acquisitions, corporate, or real estate and infrastructure transactions
  • A strong interest in large-scale real asset transactions involving private capital, real estate and infrastructure sectors
  • A proactive and commercial mindset, with the ability to navigate complex legal and business issues
  • Exceptional drafting and analytical skills
  • The ability to work effectively with clients and colleagues at all levels
  • A genuine interest in developing your career in a high-performing team

What we will offer you

G+T offers a friendly, flexible and professional working environment. In addition to competitive remuneration, we provide benefits such as access to our gym in the office building, end-of-trip facilities, retail discounts, and social events. You can view the full range of benefits here: 

Our offices are based in beautiful sunlit open spaces with panoramic views of the city and easy access to public transport, restaurants, cafes and exercise facilities.

Additional Information

Please submit your interest via our career's website with a resume.
