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.

This is a long-term career opportunity—not a short-term resourcing role. We are looking for a lawyer who wants to develop into a senior leadership position and contribute to the future growth of the firm.

The Opportunity

Working closely with the firm’s principal, you will manage matters from commencement to completion across:

· commercial and residential conveyancing in Queensland and New South Wales

· commercial and residential property developments

· off-the-plan sales, acquisitions and land subdivisions

· 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.

· 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.
