An established, Doyle's Guide Recommended commercial law firm in Adelaide is looking for a Senior Commercial Lawyer to join its growing team, following a recent merger that's expanding its commercial, property and estate planning capability.
This role is being considered at Senior Associate through to Partner level, depending on the calibre of the candidate.
This isn't a role where you're one of many hands on a file.
It's hands‐on and client-facing from day one, with genuine ownership of matters across:
Building, Construction and Infrastructure
Business, Corporate and Commercial
Employment Law
Property, Leasing and Conveyancing
Wills, Estate Planning and Estate Administration
The firm is deliberately positioned to stay large enough to deliver quality work efficiently, but small enough that every matter stays with the lawyer the client actually knows and trusts.
What we're looking for:
Admitted to practice in South Australia (or eligible for admission), with 5–10+ years' post-admission experience in commercial law
Demonstrated experience in one or more of the practice areas above
Strong end-to-end matter management — file progression, client communication and billing
A pragmatic, commercially focused approach to advice
Genuine collegial instincts and the ability to build long-term client relationships
Also valued:
Experience acting as agent for interstate law firms in SA courts and tribunals
Familiarity with LEAP, Actionstep or similar practice management software
Involvement with the Law Society of South Australia or relevant committees
Experience in commercial property transactions, business sales and acquisitions, or estate planning
What's on offer:
Competitive remuneration aligned to experience, a genuinely broad practice with real variety, a team-oriented team culture, and real scope for career progression — including a genuine pathway to Partner — as the firm continues to grow following its recent merger.
