The Opportunity – Corporate Partner (10–25 PQE)

This is a rare opportunity to move into partnership with a leading national corporate law firm renowned for its financial strength and sustained profitability.
  • Partners consistently average $3.5M+ per 100 points

You will join a high-performing group of nationally respected partners and lead significant corporate transactions and advisory work 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 be confident operating across most of them at a senior level.

  • 10–25 years’ post-admission experience in corporate law

  • Demonstrated success in business development and client relationship management
  • Ability to supervise and manage fees of:

  • Senior Partner: $350K+
  • Equity Partner: earnings exceeding $3.5M+ per 100 points
With ongoing national growth, a high-performing partnership and an elite corporate client base, this is an ideal move for an ambitious Corporate Partner or senior corporate lawyer seeking to significantly lift earnings and influence.
