About the position:
Our client is looking for a talented Corporate & Commercial Senior Associate (approximately 4–6 years post-admission) to join our clients’ team in either Sydney or Melbourne CBD.

You’ll be supported by market-leading practitioners, while also being trusted to run key streams of work, mentor juniors and build strong, long-term client relationships.

Key Requirements:

• Typically 4–6 years’ post-admission experience in corporate/commercial at a top-tier or premium firm
• Strong technical foundations across M&A and general corporate advisory
