Commercial & Property Lawyer (2-5 Years PAE)

Perth CBD

Looking for more than just another legal job?

At Robertson Hayles Lawyers, we're looking for a lawyer who enjoys solving problems, asking questions and tackling matters they may not have encountered before.

We're not seeking someone who knows every answer. We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, willing to do the research, work through complex issues and find practical solutions for clients.

If you're the type of lawyer who sees an unfamiliar problem and thinks "let me work this out" rather than "that's not my area", we'd like to hear from you.

Who We Are

For more than 60 years, Robertson Hayles Lawyers has provided legal services to the Western Australian and international community.

We act for property developers, business owners, investors, landlords, tenants, franchisors, franchisees and not-for-profit organisations across a broad range of commercial and property matters. We value practical advice, commercial outcomes and long-term client relationships.

The Role

Working closely with a Director of the firm, you will be involved in a diverse range of commercial and property matters.

This role provides genuine responsibility, client contact and exposure to matters from start to finish.

What We're Looking For

You will have:

- 2 to 5 years PAE;

- Strong drafting, analytical and communication skills;





- A client-focused and commercial approach;

- Robust organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities;

- Ability to work independently while recognising when guidance is needed; and

- Preferably, at least two years' continuous employment with the same legal practice, demonstrating commitment and stability.

Most importantly, you will be:

- Naturally curious;

- Resourceful and self-sufficient;

- Willing to investigate unfamiliar legal issues and find answers;

- Comfortable taking ownership of matters; and

- Keen to learn, grow and continually improve.

We value attitude and initiative as much as technical legal knowledge.

Why Join Us?

At Robertson Hayles Lawyers, we believe legal practice should be professionally rewarding and personally sustainable.

Join a supportive team offering hands-on mentoring, meaningful client responsibility and the opportunity to build a rewarding, sustainable career.

That means more than simply talking about work-life balance—we support our lawyers to succeed professionally while making time for family, interests and life outside the office.

Apply in Confidence

If you're looking for quality work, career progression, genuine responsibility and a firm that values both excellence and balance, we'd welcome your application.
