Thats exactly whats happening here. This role is for an experienced Property & Commercial lawyer whos ready to step into a position that offers substance, influence and a clear runway towards Partnership. One of the firms Partners has deliberately shifted their focus into niche work, creating a natural handover of the firms core property and commercial matters. Youll take over that work, shape it, and grow it, with the full support of Partners who understand that senior lawyers perform best when theyre trusted. The work itself is broad and engaging, spanning residential, commercial and leasing matters across both ACT and NSW. Youll be supported by an established conveyancing team that runs efficiently and independently, allowing you to focus on highervalue legal work, client relationships and strategic growth rather than operational noise.

Because this is a boutique firm, flexibility isnt something written into a policy and ignored in practice. Expectations around billables, working hours and hybrid arrangements are tailored to the individual. Daily billable expectations for senior lawyers are deliberately kept at sustainable levels, reflecting the firms strong commitment to longterm careers rather than shortterm burn. The culture is one of the firms strengths. The team is predominantly made up of people with young families, and the environment is supportive without being precious. There are regular social events throughout the year, family days and barbecues, and an annual day where the firm shuts down entirely to spend time together. The firm actively encourages its lawyers to build networks and their personal profile, even hosting its own networking events and supporting solicitors who want to bring clients and contacts into the fold. This is a firm with deep roots and modern values. Theyve been established a long time, but they operate with a contemporary mindset focused on autonomy, collaboration and professional development. The structure is lean, transparent and conducive to progression for the right person.
