The opportunity

If you are a lawyer with at least 3 years’ PQE in commercial law and/or estate planning, this is the kind of role that can give you a genuine next step. You’ll join an established Sydney CBD practice in a role offering direct client relationships, varied matters and the chance to work closely with senior lawyers while still running your own files.
