The Firm
n
This is a top-tier national practice with a multi-disciplinary corporate team acting for many of Australia's top 100 companies and leading multinationals. The Brisbane team has built something rare: the most established Japanese practice in the country, with deep relationships,



genuine cultural fluency and a track record on some of the most significant cross-border transactions in the market.
n
The Timing
n
The Japanese practice is growing. The team is busy and the partners are continuing to invest in its development. They are looking for a Senior Associate who can contribute meaningfully from day one, build trusted client relationships and play an active role in the continued growth of the practice.
n
The Work Itself
n
General corporate governance and M&A; transactions for high-profile Japanese companies operating in Australia. Complex, cross-border work that requires both technical excellence and genuine cultural understanding. Diverse, interesting and genuinely different from what most corporate lawyers in Brisbane are doing.

Where You'll Land
n
A collaborative, experienced team with deep expertise in Japanese business principles and culture. Experienced, well-regarded partners who are invested in mentoring and development. A top-tier platform with the resources, client base and market standing to match your ambition.
