Moores is a values-driven law firm known for delivering practical advice, building trusted relationships and helping clients achieve meaningful outcomes.

We are looking to find the right person or mix of people who can work with our existing property, estate planning and structuring and commercial advisory teams to provide practical and client focussed advice and strategy in the areas of:
