Senior Associate / Associate Director – Corporate Transactions (M&A)
Sydney / Melbourne / Adelaide | Full-time | Permanent
$150-230k DOE + super

We are working with a leading national transactions law firm with a strong reputation in complex, high-value M&A and corporate deals. This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior role where you will lead transactions end-to-end, work directly with high-profile clients, and play a key role in shaping outcomes on market-leading deals.

Our client prides themselves on their working culture, labelling themselves as different to standard private practices. They have a very collaborative approach with everyone working together to get the job done, including the Directors.

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Corporate Transactions lawyer to join our growing M&A team. You’ll operate as both a trusted adviser and deal leader, taking ownership of transactions from inception through to completion while mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to the continued growth of the practice.

What you’ll do

  • Lead public and private M&A transactions from start to finish
  • Draft and negotiate key transaction documents (SPA’s, shareholder and subscription agreements)
  • Manage due diligence processes and coordinate deal teams
  • Provide clear, commercial advice on complex legal and strategic issues
  • Build and maintain strong client and adviser relationships
  • Support and develop junior lawyers within the team
  • Contribute to business development and profile growth of the practice

What we’re looking for

  • Minimum 4 years’ post-qualification experience in corporate/M&A
  • Strong technical knowledge of Australian corporate law and transaction structures
  • Proven experience running deals independently and managing competing priorities
  • Excellent drafting skills with a commercial, client-focused approach
  • Confident communicator who can simplify complex issues
  • Strong project management and leadership capability

Why join

This is a high-impact role offering direct exposure to sophisticated transactions, close mentorship from senior practitioners, and genuine career progression in a collaborative, high-performing environment. You’ll be trusted with meaningful responsibility and supported to step up as a leader in the market.

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead deals, build client relationships, and accelerate your career in corporate transactions, we’d like to hear from you.
