The Role
We have an exciting career opportunity for a talented lawyer to join our Structured Finance and Investments team. We are proud to have been recognised as a Finalist for ‘Banking & Finance Team of the Year’ in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 Australian Law Awards.
Working directly with a Partner who is also an Accredited Specialist in Commercial Law, you will gain significant experience in this specific area of the law.
As part of the team, you will assist with acting for both non-bank lenders and high net worth individuals who provide funding for, or investment in, property acquisition and development. You will be involved in all aspects of these transactions, including due diligence, preparation of loan and security documents (including tripartite agreements with builders) joint ventures of all types and settlement of these transactions.
The team’s expertise extends beyond the transactional aspects of property finance. It includes advice work to both lenders and borrowers alike on their security position and the enforcement of their securities.
The Person
To be successful you will have 3+ years PAE in property finance, preferably within a large or mid-tier firm.
You will need to be detail oriented, technically minded, solution focussed and not only analyse the legal position for the client but also the risk. You will be wanting to enhance your career by learning from senior practitioners and already have good practical experience on a broad range of property finance matters.
You need to be approachable and a confident communicator. Teamwork should come naturally to you and above all else, you must be committed to delivering the very best commercial and legal outcomes for clients.
The Culture
Whilst we have a busy legal practice and work hard to achieve great outcomes for our clients, we genuinely value the well-being of our people and are known as industry leaders in law firm culture.
