Broad mix of property, commercial and estates work | Loyal clients, great team (no politics) | Genuine near-term partnership opportunity

Reference No: 3859304
Location: Brisbane
Work type: Permanent / Full Time
  • Genuine opportunity to inherit a strong practice and become Partner
  • Varied, interesting property + commercial work
  • Flexible, supportive culture - no big-firm politics

The Firm:
This well-established boutique firm on Brisbane’s southside has built a strong reputation for practical, high-quality legal advice across property, commercial and estates work.

With a loyal client base built over decades, the firm is known for its down-to-earth culture, steady workflow, and sensible charge-out rates. Lawyers here value autonomy, trust and teamwork – not hierarchy or internal politics.

The Role:
Due to upcoming succession planning, the firm is looking for an experienced property and commercial lawyer to step into a key client-facing role. You’ll take over an existing client portfolio and enjoy a genuine pathway to partnership in the near term.

The work is broad and interesting, including:

  • Residential and commercial property sales and acquisitions
  • Off-the-plan, subdivisions, easements and development work
  • Commercial and retail leasing (including shopping centre leasing)
  • FIRB, GST and stamp duty issues
  • Body corporate, CMS/BMS and management rights matters
  • Agricultural and rural transactions
  • General commercial and corporate work, trusts and business sales
  • Wills, estates and small dispute matters (as desired)

This is a role for a capable all-rounder who enjoys variety and client relationships as much as the legal work itself.

About You:
You’ll ideally have:

  • At least 5 years’ PAE in property and commercial law (more senior applicants very welcome)
  • Strong technical ability with a practical, solutions-focused mindset
  • Confidence dealing directly with clients and running matters independently
  • Interest in developing a practice and moving into partnership

Benefits:

  • Genuine near-term partnership succession opportunity
  • Broad, engaging mix of work – property, commercial, estates
  • Supportive Partners and collegial, politics-free culture
  • Loyal, steady client base
  • Sensible charge-out rates and realistic work hours
  • Southside Brisbane location – avoid the CBD commute
