The firm provides legal services to the lender’s internal businesses and an expanding external client base including private lenders, financiers, trustees and corporate clients.
This role combines legal practice and hands on control, managing all financial recovery matters in the Victorian jurisdiction, while offering the successful candidate the opportunity to help contribute to the growth of this profitable specialist law firm.
