Ashurst combines the benefits of a leading Restructuring and Special Situations Group practice with a supportive and collegiate environment. Consistently ranked Band 1 by Chambers, our team operates at the forefront of the restructuring and insolvency market, providing clients with unrivalled, invaluable market knowledge gained from our deep industry experience.

With the Australian insolvency and restructuring landscape becoming increasingly more transactional with complex banking documentation and corporate structures, we are seeking a junior - mid level corporate/banking lawyer to assist with these complex restructuring matters.

  • Take day to day responsibility for more straightforward matters and actively progress complex matters with close partner support.
  • Be able to demonstrate good drafting skills.
  • Be an effective communicator with clients in order to understand their needs and how best to meet them.
  • Have the ability to assist clients in arriving at practical and cost effective solutions. You will be effective in forming relationships with clients.
  • Understand the way our business, competitors and clients are developing and work with the business development team to use this information to develop business opportunities.


What makes Ashurst a great place to work?

We offer you all the things you should expect from an international law firm, some of which include:

  • competitive remuneration with the flexibility to reward high performance;
  • flexible working;
  • complimentary gym memberships;
  • corporate health plans;
  • a global professional development offering for all employees; and
  • an industry-leading programme that celebrates diversity and inclusion.

We are committed to delivering positive impacts to our communities through our Social Impact programme, with a strong emphasis on working with First Nations people through our pro bono practice.

We aim to recruit, retain and promote the best people from the widest possible talent pools. We are committed to offering a safe and welcoming environment for all employees to ensure they are supported to work at their best.

Beyond this, what sets Ashurst apart from others is our global strength, our drive to innovate and collaborate, and our commitment to excellence. It is these values that make Ashurst a unique place to work.
