Real Estate Lawyer

The Firm
This is a tier-one ranked real estate practice, recognised nationally for its work on Australia's most significant and complex property projects. The client base spans foreign institutional investors, property fund managers, government authorities, real estate investment trusts and major developers, the kind of portfolio that comes with sustained credibility rather than a single flagship deal.

The Timing
Queensland is heading into its biggest infrastructure decade, and this team sits at the centre of it. Between Olympic-readiness projects, transport upgrades and a growing social and affordable housing pipeline, the government-facing side of the practice is expanding, and they need someone who wants real carriage of that work rather than a supporting role on the sidelines.

The Work Itself
One week you're working through the leasing detail on a major government office relocation. The next you're on a call about a hydrogen project that didn't exist as a concept two years ago, then reviewing documentation for a social housing development that will put roofs over people currently without them. There's capital transactions work for institutional clients, rail and road infrastructure matters, and enough variety across public and private sector mandates that no 2 months look the same. The common thread is scale, everything here is a project people will still be talking about in a decade.

Where You'll Land
A collaborative, multidisciplinary team that works closely across specialisations rather than in silos. You'll have direct access to senior practitioners with deep government and major projects experience, genuine mentorship rather than sink-or-swim exposure, and a team culture that's earned recognition industry-wide for the quality of its work and its people.

Sound Like You?
You're a property lawyer with 2 - 6 years' post-admission experience, a strong academic background and the client-facing confidence to match. You communicate clearly with both internal teams and external stakeholders, manage competing deadlines without dropping the ball, and genuinely enjoy being part of a team rather than working in isolation. Most importantly, you're curious enough to want exposure to renewables, infrastructure and government work you haven't necessarily done before.
