n

A boutique commercial practice in Southbank (founded and led by two brilliant, deeply experienced female principals) is growing - and we are looking for a lawyer who wants to do meaningful, high‐quality work in an environment built for balance, autonomy and actual enjoyment.

n

This is the kind of role working parents dream about: flexibility that's real, hybrid arrangements that are normal, and leaders who understand that great lawyers don't need to be chained to a desk to deliver exceptional outcomes.

n

About the Practice

n

This is a up-to-date commercial firm that does things differently - transparent, human, and genuinely client‐centered. The founders are experts in their fields, widely respected, and genuinely lovely people.

n

They've built a practice known for:

n

n
- high‐end commercial and transactional work
n
- niche expertise in pharmacy, health, medical, dental and broader business advisory
n
- practical, strategic guidance for business owners from start‐up to sale
n
- a culture that values flexibility, trust and autonomy
n

n

You'll be working alongside principals who are not only exceptional lawyers,



but also exceptional humans - thoughtful, grounded, and invested in mentoring and supporting their team.

n

The Work

n

You'll enjoy a broad mix of commercial matters, including:

n

n
- business sales and purchases
n
- commercial agreements
n
- leasing
n
- structuring
n
- compliance
n
- trademark and IP matters
n
- advisory work across health, pharmacy, medical, dental, property, franchising and professional services
n

n

There is plenty of quality work and you will be trusted with responsibility while still having support whenever you need it.

n

This role is especially ideal for working parents or anyone who wants to do great work without sacrificing their life, health or sanity.

n

If you are looking for a role that gives you great work, great people and great balance, this is one worth exploring.
