About Us
Hamilton Locke is a law firm evolving the traditional approach to corporate and commercial legal services. We are constantly removing the layers of bureaucracy, reacting quickly to change, providing exceptional service and finding creative solutions to deliver smart advice.
We are part of the HPX Group, which was proudly named one of AFR BOSS Best Places to Work 2025. Within that group, Hamilton Locke was also recognised as Law Firm of the Year at the 2025 Australian Law Awards, a reflection of our commitment to doing things differently and creating an exceptional experience for both our people and clients.
We have offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Newcastle and Auckland, with our clients located across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Associate to join our Funds & Financial Services team, recognised as a Band 1 ranked firm in the Chambers and Partners Fintech Legal Guide 2025.
You'll be advising an impressive client base of fund managers, fintechs, payment service providers, and financial institutions on complex regulatory and transactional matters.
This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping strategic advice, driving client relationships, mentoring junior lawyers, and contributing to business growth. You'll be trusted to take ownership of matters while being supported by senior leaders who value collaboration, curiosity, and commercial thinking.
We're looking for someone:
- With 5+ years' experience in private practice or in-house, specialising in financial services, funds management, fintech, or regulatory matters;
- With strong technical and commercial skills, and confidence in advising clients on complex regulatory issues;
- With the ability to lead client relationships and mentor junior lawyers;
- Who enjoys collaborating across teams and contributing to the firm's growth and profile in the market; and
- With an entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine interest in innovation and emerging technologies.
What makes life at Hamilton Locke different?
We don't just talk about balance and wellbeing - we invest in experiences that make work genuinely more rewarding.
Every year, our people have the chance to join the HPX Group Adventure Club - an all-expenses-subsidised trip that brings together colleagues from across Australia and New Zealand for a few days of adventure and connection. Past trips have taken us hiking in Hobart, jet boating in Queenstown and even bungee jumping (for the brave). It's one of the ways we bring our values of collaboration, courage and fun to life.
We also run our da Vinci Development Program, which gives everyone the opportunity to explore something new - from pottery to pilates (or even climbing Mount Everest) with a subsidy to cover the cost and an extra week of annual leave to make time for it.
Because we know when our people are energised, curious and connected, that's when we do our best work.
