About the Client:

Our client is a growing corporate/commercial practice building a standout property team in a thriving South-East Queensland market. The firm is known for commercially sharp advice and a strong mentoring culture, where senior practitioners are accessible and invested in developing lawyers into leaders.

About the Position:

Our client is looking for a mid–senior Property Lawyer (5+ PAE) who wants more than “just another role”.

• Residential and commercial conveyancing (including off-the-plan as required)
• Client relationship management and referral partner engagement
• Mentoring juniors and building a high-performing property team

You’ll be trusted with autonomy, but you won’t be left on your own—this is hands-on mentoring with real feedback, coaching on client management, and support to step into leadership.

Key Requirements:

• 5+ years PAE in Queensland property law
• Strong experience across developer matters and transactional property work
• Confident leasing capability (drafting and negotiation)
• Sound conveyancing experience with good process and risk control
• Comfortable leading matters and guiding junior staff
• High-quality drafting, communication and stakeholder management
• Genuine interest in progression, leadership and building a practice

On Offer:

Our client offers a rare combination of autonomy and structured development:

• Principal-led mentoring with a defined progression plan
• Real pathway to Senior Associate and, longer-term, Head Of opportunity
• High-quality developer and leasing work with meaningful client contact
• Leadership exposure: mentoring, matter strategy, and team growth
• A stable, professional environment focused on quality and retention
• Salary aligned to experience, capability and leadership potential
