The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has come up for an intermediate level (circa 2-5 year PQE) lawyer to join a well-established firm on the North Shore. Working in a close-knit team with an approachable partner who can provide sound mentorship and other experienced lawyers and support staff in the team, you'll have the opportunity to be involved in:

• Business transactions - both smaller and larger;
• Shareholder agreements and company structuring matters;
• Franchise agreements;
• Joint ventures projects;
• Commercial contract drafting and negotiations e.g. supply and services agreements;
• Commercial lease negotiations;
• Commercial construction contracts advice;
• Business financing; and
• Employment law advisory matters.

You will be someone that has:  

• 2+ years experience. Those that have had some commercial law experience from a mixed background (e.g. property and commercial) and are keen to develop further as a commercial lawyer will be of interest too;
• Good interpersonal and client relationship management skills as you'll have that as part of this role;
• Commercially minded and with good written communication skills. 

You may want to move closer to home on the Shore and avoid the traffic, while having steady work that allows for growth, good hours, flexibility and a positive culture. Or, you may currently be doing a mix of property, commercial and private client work and want to shift towards a greater commercial legal focus. Whichever the case, get in touch to find out if this is the right opportunity for you.
