Banking & Finance Lawyer – Cross-Border Work | Band 1 Practice

If you're a finance lawyer who wants to work on the biggest and boldest deals across borders — and actually see the value of your work in the headlines — this team might be your next move.

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the world’s top-ranked banking and finance practices, known for its award-winning mandates, international client base, and technically brilliant team. From Sydney, you’ll be working on complex transactions alongside global market leaders, covering areas like:

• Debt restructuring

Why this team?

• You'll step into a high-performing, fast-paced environment, working closely with both Australian and international clients across sectors.
• The team is busy, engaged, and collaborative — they’re looking for someone who is technically strong and also up for mentoring juniors, helping with business development, and generally being a decent human to work with.
• There’s no “invisible borders” here — you'll be working across multiple offices and jurisdictions, so previous cross-border experience (or the appetite for it) is key.

What they're looking for:

• 2+ years' PQE in banking & finance (top-tier or recognised boutique experience preferred)
• Exposure to at least one of the listed finance streams — the broader, the better
• Strong academics and clear communication skills
• Someone who thrives in a team, enjoys fast-moving deals, and brings a commercial mindset

What’s on offer?

• International, market-leading work
• High-end clients and matters that get noticed
• A strong culture of training, mentorship and global mobility
• Top of market salary + bonus + benefits

This role is suited to an ambitious Associate ready to take the next step in a team that’s scaling quickly.
