Commercial Lawyer - Specialist Commercial Firm

Who we are

We are a specialist commercial firm based in Barangaroo, Sydney's premier commercial precinct. We do not chase volume. We deliberately keep a select client portfolio so our lawyers can work as genuine, embedded advisors on matters that actually matter. If you have sat in a team where you were three degrees removed from the client and the real strategy, this role is opposite.

The work

This is a junior role, but not an entry-level one. You will already have some grounding in commercial litigation, property, commercial transactions or general corporate and commercial advisory work, and you are ready to take on real responsibility and develop your commercial judgement. You will:

- Manage the day-to-day conduct of commercial matters and disputes, with senior support close at hand.
- Draft, review and negotiate a range of commercial agreements, contracts and transaction documents.
- Assist with property-related transactions, including acquisitions, disposals, commercial leasing and associated contractual matters.
- Work on commercial litigation, insolvency, property and construction disputes, including drafting pleadings, affidavits and correspondence.
- Gain exposure to Courts and Tribunals, with opportunities to develop your advocacy skills.
- Contribute to strategic, commercially astute advice on complex transactions, contractual matters and high-stakes disputes from early in your career.

What you bring

- Some post-qualification experience in commercial litigation,



commercial property, transactional work or general commercial/corporate advisory. This is a junior role, not a graduate one, so you should already be comfortable with the fundamentals of managing legal matters.
- Experience in one or more of contract drafting and review, commercial leasing, acquisitions, commercial disputes or general commercial advisory work.
- Admission as a solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW and a current practising certificate.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- The judgment to work autonomously and the honesty to ask when you should not.
- Genuine attention to detail and a practical, commercially minded approach to problem-solving

What is on offer

- Deliberate mentorship from experienced colleagues who are invested in your development.
- Genuine exposure to complex, high-value commercial matters, including transactions, contractual advisory work and disputes, rather than repetitive volume matters.
- Direct client contact and meaningful responsibility from an early stage.
- The prospect to develop a broad commercial practice rather than being confined to a single area of law.
- A collaborative team and a culture that is built on getting the work done properly, then going home. We do not manufacture long hours as a badge of honour. Effort here is measured in the quality of your work, not the time your light is on.

If this sounds like the kind of environment where you would thrive, we would like to hear from you.
