Australia - Relocation & Returner-Friendly

- Join a leading global law firm with a top-tier Banking practice
- Associate-level opportunity supporting high-end leveraged and real estate finance work
- Market-leading remuneration, international deal exposure, robust training and a genuinely supportive culture

Group8 is partnering with a top-tier global law firm to support the continued growth of its Banking team in Australia. This opportunity is ideally suited to associates with international or sponsor-led finance experience who are looking to build depth in a sophisticated, fast-growing practice.

Driven by significant high-profile investment across the firm in Australia, demand within the Banking team has accelerated, creating an immediate need to strengthen associate ranks across leveraged finance, corporate finance and real estate finance.

This role is well suited to returners to Australia/New Zealand or lawyers currently offshore seeking exposure to complex, international-style transactions within a highly collaborative environment.

Client

Our client is a world‑leading international law firm with a highly regarded Banking practice. In Australia, the team advises on complex leveraged finance, real estate finance and corporate lending transactions for major domestic and international sponsors, investors and lenders.

The practice works closely with colleagues across the UK, US, EMEA and Asia,



providing clients with seamless cross‑border capability and exposure to global deal structures that few firms in the local market can offer.

Culture

The Banking team is known for being highly collegiate, supportive and team‑oriented. There is a strong emphasis on training, development and long‑term career progression, making this a particularly attractive platform for lawyers transitioning from overseas jurisdictions or moving back into private practice from in‑house roles.

Ideal Profile

- Experience in leveraged finance, corporate finance or real estate finance
- Exposure to international‑style financings (e.g. covenant‑lite, unitranche, sponsor‑backed deals) is advantageous
- Australian, New Zealand or UK‑qualified lawyers considered
- Strong technical foundations, commercial awareness and work ethic

Why This Opportunity?

- Exposure to complex, international banking work rarely seen in the Australian market
- Clear development and progression opportunities
- Strong investment in training and mentorship
- Competitive, top‑of‑market remuneration
- Supportive environment for returners and relocators
