This is a rare opportunity for a Senior Associate or Special Counsel to inherit an established agribusiness, rural property and commercial practice with an existing client base and workflow already in place!
With a Principal transitioning out, you'll have the autonomy to take the practice forward, strengthen key relationships and capitalise on significant scope to further develop the firm's rural and agribusiness offering.
A substantial client following is not required, and for the right senior lawyer, there is genuine scope to grow the practice and potentially explore a pathway to equity over time.
Behind the opportunity is an established Queensland law firm with strong roots across regional Queensland. The firm acts for farming families, agribusinesses, business owners and regional communities, supported by broader generalist capability.
THE OPPORTUNITY
You'll take carriage of a broad and varied practice encompassing but not limited to:
- Agribusiness and rural advisory
- Farm and rural property acquisitions, disposals and transfers
- Rural business sales and acquisitions
- Commercial transactions and general business advisory
- Business structuring and reorganisations
- Succession and intergenerational planning for farming families
Beyond managing key client relationships, you'll have the opportunity to develop new business,
strengthen referral networks and increase the firm's profile across the rural and agribusiness market. This is an opportunity to make an established practice your own and play a meaningful role in its future direction.
THE CANDIDATE
You'll likely be an experienced Senior Associate or Special Counsel with a background across agribusiness, rural property, commercial and/or succession law.
You'll be confident managing matters and senior client relationships independently, with the commercial mindset and relationship-building skills to identify and develop new opportunities.
WHAT'S ON OFFER
- An established practice to inherit
- Pathway to equity opportunity
- Market-competitive salary + bonus structure
- 5.5-hour daily billable target
- Flexible work arrangements
- Strong Queensland and regional network
- Opportunity to mentor and develop junior lawyers
- Genuine scope to further grow the rural and agribusiness practice.
