This is a unique chance for an Australian-qualified lawyer to work on multi-jurisdictional transactions, gain international experience and enjoy an outstanding salary in pounds sterling.

About Our Client

Recognised as a global leader, our client advises banks, funds, sponsors and corporates on complex, high-profile financings worldwide. Their Real Estate Finance team acts for debt funds, investment managers, private equity and other lenders on investment, development and loan-on-loan financings across sectors including office, hospitality, residential and logistics. They embrace legal technology and AI, invest heavily in training and knowledge management, and foster a positive, inclusive and collaborative culture.

About the Role

  • Lead and support a variety of real estate finance transactions, from investment/cash‑flow generating deals to development financings and back‑leverage/loan‑on‑loan structures.
  • Act for both borrowers/sponsors and lenders, negotiating LMA-based documentation and coordinating multi-jurisdictional aspects.
  • Handle elements of acquisition finance and general corporate lending, with exposure to restructuring/insolvency in the real estate sector.
  • Work closely with partners and knowledge teams to deliver high-quality work and leverage technology to improve client service.
  • Assist with business development and contribute to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Skills & Experience

  • Minimum 6 years' post-qualification experience in real estate finance, ideally with exposure to acquisition finance and general corporate lending.
  • Experience acting for both borrowers/sponsors.
  • Strong technical drafting skills, commercial acumen and the ability to think practically to meet challenging transaction timetables.
  • Common-sense "can-do" attitude, able to work independently while being a team player.
  • Willingness to relocate to the UK; UK admission or willingness to seek admission (support provided).

Benefits & Culture

  • Outstanding salary in GBP with a bonus package, reflective of London market rates.
  • Relocation assistance and visa sponsorship for eligible Australian-qualified lawyers.
  • Comprehensive benefits covering health & wellbeing, finance & protection, and family & lifestyle.
  • Ongoing professional development through structured learning and access to cutting-edge legal technology.
  • Inclusive workplace recognised for gender equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion and social mobility.
  • Flexible work arrangements and a supportive, collaborative environment.

Why Move to the UK?

This role offers exposure to world‑leading transactions, the chance to work with global clients on cross-border deals and to live in one of the most vibrant cities in the world.
