The Firm

Our client is a leading Australian law firm with a recognised market position at the intersection of corporate, funds and real estate.

The firm is consistently ranked by Doyle's Guide, Best Lawyers and Chambers Asia-Pacific — with acknowledged strength in real estate, property-backed M&A; and joint ventures, and complex commercial property transactions. It acts for fund managers, REITs, superannuation funds, offshore capital, developers and institutional investors, and has the national bench and infrastructure to support a partner who arrives with momentum.

Real estate is core to the firm's strategy, and the partnership is collegiate, commercially engaged and invested in the success of incoming partners. The firm is looking to leverage this expertise to grow its funds offering.

Full details of the firm (including partnership structure, client base and strategic direction) can be provided confidentially to suitable candidates who wish to progress.
