This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and commercially minded Lawyer with 2–3 years Post-Admission Experience (PAE) looking to take the next step in their legal career within a Brisbane-based law firm offering exposure to commercial law, sports law, and a diverse range of legal matters.

Our client is an established Brisbane-based law firm providing practical, commercially focused legal advice to businesses, individuals, sporting organisations, and clients navigating significant legal and commercial decisions.

With particular expertise in commercial and sports law, the firm advises businesses, sporting clubs, athletes, and organisations on contracts, sponsorship agreements, governance, commercial transactions, and dispute resolution.

They are now seeking a capable and motivated Lawyer to join their Brisbane practice.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than simply managing files.

You'll work across a varied portfolio of matters, providing legal advice, drafting and negotiating agreements, managing client relationships, and contributing to commercially considered outcomes.

The position offers exposure to commercial law, sports law, property, wills and estates, disputes, and debt recovery, making it particularly attractive to a Lawyer seeking to broaden their experience without being confined to a single practice area.

Previous private practice experience is essential, with particular interest in candidates who have developed a strong foundation in commercial law, contractual matters, or dispute resolution.

If you're confident dealing with clients, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to develop your legal career within a qualified and collaborative environment, this could be the opportunity for you.
