We are recognised for combining legal excellence with innovation, client care, and a modern, collaborative approach across Business & Commercial Law, Family Law, and Wills & Estates.

We are now seeking a Senior Business & Commercial Lawyer to join our Sydney team — an experienced practitioner who is commercially astute, confident with complex transactions, and eager to take the next step towards leadership and partnership within a growing, forward-thinking firm.

⚖️ About the Role

You will manage a diverse and sophisticated caseload, advising business owners, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals on a full spectrum of commercial and corporate matters.

  • Collaboration with Family Law and Wills & Estates teams on matters involving business interests, property settlements, and intergenerational wealth transfers

You’ll engage directly with high-end private and corporate clients across Sydney, including SMEs, family enterprises, and investors — often in advisory meetings, negotiations, and strategic planning sessions.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both technical excellence and relationship-building, and who wants to be part of a collaborative environment that values autonomy, innovation, and growth.
