Opportunity for a corporate lawyer with 3+ PQE in M&A. If you're looking for a role that offers high-quality private M&A work and access to deeply experienced Partners, this is a fantastic next step.
I'm partnering with a national firm as they continue to grow their Corporate & Commercial practice nationally. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team working across private M&A transactions.
The Opportunity
You'll join a strong national practice, working closely with reputable Partners on both significant transactions and smaller deals where you'll have space to step up and take ownership. The team operates as one unified national group - so while you'll sit in Sydney, you'll work with colleagues and partners across Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra on matters involving major corporates, private equity and growth‐stage businesses.
The Role
- Run key workstreams on private M&A transactions
- Support on larger, more complex deals across jurisdictions
- Draft and negotiate a wide range of agreements
- Lead due diligence and advisory pieces
- Mentor juniors and help shape the team's ongoing growth
What You'll Bring
- 3+ PQE in corporate/M&A from a leading commercial firm
- Experience across private M&A, JVs, shareholder agreements, due diligence and corporate advisory
- Strong drafting and analytical skills
- Confidence managing competing deadlines and client expectations
- An interest in contributing to a supportive, high‐performing team culture
Why This Firm
The firm is known for combining top‐tier calibre work with a highly supportive culture.
- Flexible work arrangements, "dress for your day" and family‐friendly policies
- Structured development and high exposure to partners
- National collaboration and the chance to learn from leaders across the country
- A strong commitment to diversity, wellbeing and pro‐bono
- Modern offices and a genuinely down‐to‐earth environment
They're also consistently recognised across WGEA, Doyle's Guide and Best Lawyers for both individual excellence and firm‐wide performance.
If you're exploring your next move, or you're curious about the team and the type of transactions they're working on, feel free to apply, or get in touch for a confidential chat.
