Commercial Lawyer | Partnership Opportunity

The Opportunity
Opportunities to step into an established commercial practice without bringing a client following are rare.

Our client is seeking an experienced commercial lawyer to lead and grow an existing practice with approximately $1 million in annual workflow, supported by long-standing client relationships and strong referral networks.

Whether you're an experienced Senior Associate ready for the next step, a Special Counsel seeking greater autonomy, or a junior Principal looking for a stronger platform, this role offers genuine leadership responsibility from day one.

Importantly, you won't be expected to build a practice from scratch.

The work is already there.

Your focus will be on leading the team, strengthening client relationships and continuing the growth of an already successful commercial practice.

The Role
Working closely with the firm's leadership team, you'll advise clients across a broad range of commercial matters including:

• Commercial contracts
• Business sales and acquisitions
• Shareholder and business structuring matters
• Corporate and commercial advisory
• Procurement, leasing and general commercial transactions

Beyond your technical practice, you'll also:

• Lead and develop the commercial team
• Mentor junior lawyers
• Build long-term client and referrer relationships
• Help shape the future direction of the practice
• Play an active role within the firm's leadership group

About You
You'll ideally have:

• Approximately 8+ years' PAE
• Strong commercial advisory and transactional experience
• Well-developed client relationship skills
• An interest in mentoring and developing lawyers
• The ambition to lead a practice rather than simply manage files

Previous leadership experience is welcomed but not essential. More important is the desire to take ownership and help build a successful commercial practice.

What's On Offer

• Established commercial practice generating approximately $1 million in annual fees
• Existing clients and strong referral relationships
• Genuine Partnership opportunity (or immediate Partnership for the right candidate)
• No expectation of bringing a significant client following
• Modern systems and strong operational support
• Collaborative leadership team
• High-quality commercial work for business clients
• Competitive remuneration and future profit-share opportunities

If you've reached the point in your career where you're looking for genuine leadership rather than simply another title, this is a rare opportunity to build on an already successful platform.
