Burgess Paluch – Brisbane QLD

Full time, Permanent

Hybrid

1mo ago , from Burgess Paluch Legal Recruitment

Lead mid-market deals for a blue‑chip client base, beside a former top‑tier partner. Strong base. Up to 30% annual bonus. Versatile work.

At this firm, a mid‑market deal is not a junior’s file. You help lead it.

My client acts for a blue‑chip client base on mid‑market corporate and commercial work. The matters are real: acquisitions, sales, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements, and the contracts that hold a business together.

You will not be the fifth lawyer on a mega‑deal. You will sit beside a former top‑tier partner and help run the transaction.

That is the job.

What you will do?

- Help lead mid‑market deals from first instruction through completion
- Draft,



negotiate and close commercial contracts and corporate documents that clients actually use
- Advise boards and owners in plain English, with a commercial answer attached
- Run files with enough autonomy that the partner can trust the work

Who this is for?

You are a Corporate/Commercial lawyer with 3 to 10 years’ post‑admission experience.

You have already done the work: M&A; or business sales, equity and shareholder documents, and substantial commercial contracting. You can own a timetable, a client and a first draft.

What you get?

- Paid well, with a package set for this market
- The chance to earn a 30% bonus each year
- A culture that prefers good work and straight talk over theatre
- Direct exposure to blue‑chip clients and a former top‑tier partner who still does the deals
