Boutique Brisbane firm | Senior-level work | Genuine career progression
Join a specialist commercial finance and real estate and practice where you will work directly with senior lawyers and clients.
Established in 2004, Davis Lawyers is a boutique Brisbane firm advising commercial clients across Australia in real estate, banking and finance, and corporate law. We combine senior-level expertise with practical, commercially focused advice and the responsiveness of a specialist practice.
Due to continued growth, we are seeking a motivated solicitor or associate with 3–5 years’ post-admission experience to join our team. You will work on sophisticated transactions for lenders, developers, investors and business owners, with meaningful autonomy, direct client contact and a clear pathway for progression.

· property due diligence, structuring and transaction advice
· commercial lending and secured finance transactions across Australia
· loan, mortgage and security documentation
· shareholder, unitholder and joint venture arrangements
· commercial and retail leasing and general commercial transactions
· business acquisitions and disposals
You will have direct client contact, responsibility for your own files and the support needed to deliver high-quality, commercially practical advice.
About You

· 3–5 years’ post-admission experience in property, commercial and/or banking and finance law
· strong drafting, technical and analytical skills
· the ability to manage matters with appropriate autonomy
· clear communication and strong client relationship skills
· commercial judgement and a practical approach to problem-solving
· excellent attention to detail, organisation and time management
· a willingness to take responsibility and contribute to the growth of the practice
What We Offer
· A competitive salary package reflecting your experience
· High-quality commercial real estate, finance and corporate work
· Direct mentoring and close collaboration with the Principal
· Meaningful autonomy, responsibility and direct client relationships
· A flexible, supportive working environment with genuine work–life balance
· A clear pathway to Senior Associate level and beyond
· The chance to contribute to the firm’s growth and strategic direction
· Long-term potential for equity participation or succession for the right candidate
· No expectation that you bring an existing client following
· Exceptional business-development incentives
· A bonus of at least 70% of professional fees collected on matters originated by you, subject to firm policy
· A specialist environment without unnecessary layers of internal management
Location & Flexibility The role is based in Brisbane, with flexible working arrangements available for the right candidate.
· Apply
