Join one of Australia’s most profitable corporate law practices and take the next step in your career as a Corporate Partner with a nationally recognised firm. With a strong reputation for delivering high-value results across M&A, capital markets, and corporate advisory, this practice offers exceptional earning potential and a prestigious client base.
  
The Opportunity – Corporate Partner (10–25 PQE)
  
This is a rare chance to step into partnership with a leading national firm known for its financial strength and sustained success. Partners consistently average $3.5M+ returns per 100 points and the firm is expanding its Queensland partnership team by 20–30% over the next 12 months.
  
You will work closely with a high-performing team of nationally acclaimed partners and lead significant matters across:
  • Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): public, private, regulated, and off-market transactions
  • Equity Capital Markets & Backdoor Listings
  • Corporate Advisory & Joint Ventures
  • ASX Listing Rules & Corporations Act Compliance
Exposure to all these areas is not essential but you will have the confidence and capability to operate across most.
  
What We’re Looking For
  • 10 - 25 years’ post-admission experience in corporate law, ideally within a top-tier, mid-tier, or M&A boutique firm.
  • Proven success in business development and client relationship management.
  • Ability to supervise fees of $800K+ (Salaried Partner) or $1.6M+ (Equity Partner).

Rewards & Remuneration
  • Salaried Partner: $250K–$300K + bonuses
  • Senior Partner: $350K+
  • Equity Partner: Earnings exceeding $3.5M+ per 100 points

This is one of the most lucrative corporate law opportunities in the Australian market. With ongoing growth, national reach, and an elite client portfolio, it’s the perfect move for ambitious corporate lawyers ready to accelerate their careers.
