About the Opportunity:

Our client is looking for a Corporate & Commercial / M&A Partner who can bring a transportable practice and lead matters end-to-end. This role suits a senior practitioner with recurring deal flow or a consistent SME/investor client base who enjoys originating work, retaining key relationships and delivering outcomes at pace.

The work will include a mix of:

• M&A (share/asset deals), restructures and strategic transactions
• Shareholder arrangements, joint ventures and private client structures
• Corporate advisory, governance and day-to-day commercial matters
• Negotiation-led work with direct access to key decision makers

This is an opportunity to join our clients’ team and build a scalable offering within a nimble platform, with genuine autonomy and meaningful performance upside.

About the Firm and team:

• The Corporate M&A Team currently comprises of two Partners, 2 x Special Counsel and a team of junior lawyers 
• Our client is a next-generation Australian commercial law firm with offices in Sydney and Brisbane. The firm operates across core commercial areas including corporate & commercial, banking & finance, property and disputes
• In Sydney, our client’s office is located on Bligh Street in the CBD, offering a premium environment to meet clients and run transactions efficiently.

Salary and features:

• Guide Range : $250,000 - $400,000
• Performance upside is a genuine differentiator, with a fair and achievable revenue hurdle set significantly lower than typical BigLaw or mid-tier benchmarks.
• Generous bonus / profit-share applies to all revenue above the hurdle, so the profit-share zone is reached far earlier.

Other features:

• Join our client’s team alongside a high-calibre, commercially minded partner group that values quality work and decisive advice.
• Partner-led, collaborative culture with genuine cross-referrals across corporate, finance, property and disputes.
• Modern, tech-enabled platform designed to streamline delivery and free partners up to focus on clients and origination.
• Flexible working arrangements.

Key Requirements:

• Partner (or senior Special Counsel ready to step up) with a credible, transportable practice
• Demonstrated ability to originate work and maintain long-term client relationships
• Strong technical capability across M&A and corporate advisory
• Confident operator who can run matters end-to-end and supervise delivery
