Senior Corporate & Commercial Lawyer 

Career-making role for a Corporate/Commercial Lawyer with 4–6+ PAE in Brisbane.

3 Key Points:
  • Take the lead on complex national transactions
  • Enjoy real progression with mentoring and leadership pathways
  • Thrive in a high-performing, people-focused team culture
Our client is a leading national law firm with a reputation for delivering strategic legal solutions across Australia’s corporate landscape. With a collaborative culture, award-winning leadership, and a focus on development, this firm is the professional home of high-calibre lawyers who want to do challenging work in a people-first environment.

Their Brisbane office is part of a firmwide culture that prioritises innovation, knowledge sharing, and lawyer development. This is a team where you’ll be trusted with responsibility, supported with training, and encouraged to pursue leadership opportunities in line with your long-term goals.

About the position: Our client is seeking a talented Senior Corporate/Commercial Lawyer (4–6+ years PAE) to join their respected Brisbane practice.

This is a standout opportunity to work at the coalface of major transactions — from corporate restructures and joint ventures to acquisitions and shareholder arrangements. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to a dynamic client base spanning emerging enterprises, ASX-listed companies, and major private groups across a range of industries.

You’ll play a key role in not just delivering legal outcomes, but in shaping client strategy and mentoring junior lawyers within the team. This is the perfect role for a lawyer ready to take the next step in ownership, leadership, and professional advancement.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead and manage complex corporate transactions and commercial matters
  • Provide commercially attuned legal advice across a broad client portfolio
  • Draft, review, and negotiate high-value agreements and documentation
  • Develop long-term client relationships through trusted guidance and insight
  • Support and mentor junior colleagues as they grow under your leadership
  • Contribute to the firm’s strategic growth in Brisbane and beyond
About You:
  • 4–6+ years post-admission experience in corporate and/or commercial law
  • Strong experience across M&A, restructures, commercial contracts, and advisory
  • Exceptional drafting, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable managing files autonomously while collaborating within a team
  • Committed to mentoring, learning, and contributing to firm culture
  • Commercially minded, with the confidence to drive client outcomes
What’s on Offer:
  • Career Progression – Transparent path to leadership and potential partnership
  • Challenging Work – Multi-industry matters with national commercial scope
  • People-Focused Culture – Join a team where collaboration comes first
  • Tailored Flexibility – Working arrangements that fit your lifestyle
  • Learning & Development – Regular CPD, mentoring, and leadership coaching
  • Attractive Package – Competitive salary with generous performance rewards
