Coordinating due diligence processes and providing commercially focused risk advice.
Advising on deal structuring, regulatory matters and completion mechanics.
Mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to their development.
Building client relationships and supporting business development.

You are a commercially minded Senior Associate with a passion for Private Capital transactions and broader M&A who thrives in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

A current Australian practising certificate with approximately 5+ PQE in M&A and/or private capital at a leading law firm.
Experience advising on Private Capital transactions, including investments, buyouts, exits, and restructurings.
Strong drafting and negotiation skills across complex transaction documentation.
Excellent commercial judgment with the ability to provide clear, practical advice.
Ability to manage multiple workstreams and competing priorities.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach.
