An opportunity exists to join a high-performing, Top-Tier Taxation team operating as part of a broader Corporate & Commercial practice, with strong leadership in Brisbane. Working closely with senior Partners on strategic tax matters, you’ll gain exposure to high-level advisory work across income tax, GST, land tax, payroll tax and stamp duty, in addition to structuring and trust advisory.
As a Senior Associate, you will:
- Advise on complex taxation matters and strategic structuring
- Draft and review trust deeds, wills, and commercial instruments
- Provide direct advice to major commercial and government clients
- Mentor junior lawyers and contribute to a growing team culture
- Lead multi-disciplinary matters alongside other corporate specialists
- 5+ years’ PAE, ideally with a focus in income tax and/or state taxes
- A commercial mindset with strong technical skills
- Experience or interest in structuring, trust law, or tax litigation
- Broader exposure to M&A, property, or commercial law (advantageous)
- A collaborative, confident approach with a passion for client service
This is not a traditional top-tier model – this firm offers something different. With a true merit-based promotion model, lawyers are recognised for contributions, business acumen, and initiative - not seniority or politics.
You’ll benefit from:
- Structured career forecasting every 180 days
- Direct Partner access and hands-on mentoring
- Genuine flexibility with 3:2 hybrid arrangements
- 26 weeks paid parental leave for all staff (after 6 months’ service)
- A national network and platform for cross-jurisdictional work
- Down-to-earth culture, regular socials and professional clubs & more!
We believe the best career decisions are made with the right information. That’s why we invite you to have a relaxed, confidential chat with us either over the phone, VC or over coffee or tea with no obligation, just an open conversation about your goals.
You’ll receive a detailed brief about this role and others that may suit your experience before deciding if it’s the right fit.
