The role

We're looking for a Senior Associate to join our Projects & Property team in Perth. As the 2IC to our partner, this role offers the right candidate the opportunity to step up and progress swiftly into a leadership position.

Working alongside Margot King, you will lead property transactions for major renewable projects across the country. In addition to supporting Margot on both major projects and day-to-day property matters, you will also have the opportunity to mentor and lead junior lawyers and graduates within the team.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

  • Has experience at the Senior Lawyer / Senior Associate level
  • Brings property law experience with a projects context (renewables sector experience is ideal but not essential)
  • Has a genuine passion for Projects & Property law, and an interest in the renewables space
  • Values a collaborative, non-hierarchical team culture
  • Is entrepreneurial, innovative, and driven to make an impact

The firm

Hamilton Locke is an international 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.

A law firm with a difference, we are evolving the traditional business model. We have built a high-growth, people-centric business that maximises our 'people experience' (PX) and believe this delivers the best 'client experience' (CX). We foster a vibrant culture, putting our people at the forefront of everything we do.

Put simply, we have created a work environment based on respect, trust, development, collaboration and innovation. This allows our people to grow and be the best version of themselves.

This is a win-win-win. We put our people's experience at the centre of everything we do, enabling our people to do their best work - and makes our clients happy.

Why Us?

  • Be part of cutting-edge renewable projects shaping the future of energy
  • Work in a supportive and agile team
  • Flexible working arrangements and a balanced approach to hours
  • Access to high-quality clients, mentoring, and career development
  • A fun, collaborative, and high-performing office – with regular social events, training, and team retreats.
  • A clear and transparent performance bonus scheme.
  • An extra week's leave, as part of our employee personal development program.
  • A day birthday leave.
  • Support in building client relationships.
