5+ years PQE | Corporate, Commercial & IP

Sydney is a city that rewards ambition. It’s Australia’s commercial capital and home to the country’s biggest deals and most dynamic businesses, and it pairs a serious career market with a lifestyle few cities can match. Picture harbour views on your commute, beaches within easy reach after work, and weekends spent exploring the food, culture and coastline of one of the world’s most liveable cities. If you’ve been thinking about taking your career offshore, this is a great place to do it.

Our client is a well-regarded commercial firm with a strong, established presence in Sydney. They’re looking for an experienced corporate and commercial lawyer to join their growing Corporate, Commercial & IP team. You’ll work closely with senior Partners who will give you real ownership of your files and the mentoring to keep building your practice.

The work
The work is broad and genuinely interesting. You’ll handle business acquisitions and sales, shareholder and joint venture arrangements, corporate restructures and structuring, and financing and security work. You’ll also advise on day-to-day commercial matters for a varied mix of private, public and international clients. A standout feature of the role is the chance to build your intellectual property expertise, covering trade mark work and IP portfolio management, alongside your core corporate and commercial practice.

You
You’ll bring at least five years’ corporate and commercial experience, with strong drafting and negotiation skills across a wide range of agreements. You’ll also be confident running transactions and advising clients directly. An interest in IP and a desire to develop in that area will set you apart.

The firm offers a competitive salary, flexible working and a collaborative, supportive culture. The package also includes a generous range of extras, from a wellness allowance and salary continuance insurance to purchased leave, an annual legal allowance and regular social events.

If you’re ready for a new challenge in a new city, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or get in touch for a confidential conversation. sarah@legalpersonnel.co.nz

Note: We have other Australian roles if this one isn't quite right.
