Lawyer or Associate - Boutique Firm Doing Law Differently


Melbourne-based | Hybrid working model


Banking & Finance | Insolvency & Restructuring | Commercial Litigation


Open to Australian citizens or permanent residents only

We're working with a boutique legal practice that's steadily growing and building a strong national reputation. With a focus on banking, finance, insolvency, and commercial matters, the firm works exclusively with blue-chip clients — including major lenders, listed entities, and private corporates. Please note they are not a debt collection agency.

As part of their continued growth, they're looking to welcome a
Lawyer or Associate with 2-6 years of post-admission experience
to join their
close-knit Melbourne-based team
. The current team is four and expanding, and the role is offered on a
hybrid basis
— blending flexibility, autonomy and a highly collaborative working environment. The firm is focused on quality legal work, strong client outcomes, and doing law in a way that genuinely supports its people.

Why this firm?

This isn't a traditional law firm — and that's exactly the point.

The team is driven by the desire to do things differently: high-quality work without the rigid hierarchy or outdated culture. You'll be surrounded by experienced, capable lawyers who enjoy what they do and want to work with like-minded people.

They:

-Specialise in
insolvency and restructuring
, including administrations and receiverships (not debt collection)

-Operate across State and Federal jurisdictions, working on high-quality matters for well-known clients

-Are
steadily growing
, with plans to expand beyond the current team of four

-Have earned places on lender panels typically reserved for top-tier firms

-Offer genuine flexibility, autonomy, and a culture built on respect and trust

What they're looking for:

-A lawyer with
2-6 years' post-admission experience
in litigation, finance, insolvency, or commercial law

-Someone with a
strong interest or background in finance and accounting
, especially within an insolvency context

-A professional who's
admitted in Victoria
and currently
based in Melbourne

-Strong communicator - confident managing files, deadlines, and court processes

-A proactive, thoughtful team member who enjoys collaborating and contributing to continuous improvement

-Open to full-time candidates (part-time can be considered for the right person)

What's on offer:

-Work with
respected blue-chip clients
across a range of industries

-Join a
growing, tight-knit team
where your input and ideas are truly valued

-Enjoy a
hybrid model
that supports balance and flexibility

-Be part of a firm that's genuinely different - and proud of it

-
Competitive salary
aligned with your experience and contribution
