What You Bring

As a Legal Recruitment specialist with over 20 years experience I can guarantee your application is in good hands. The market is small and confidentiality is key. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have about this position or to discuss other options currently available in the market. Although based in Brisbane the work is very much coming from Sydney, Melbourne and overseas investors and business owners. There is no requirement to bring any relationships across with you, or onus on you to win work, as there is already more than enough pipeline and clients here, but we are ideally looking for someone who has the right personality for client-facing work and enthusiasm to step up to Partnership.

Benefits

This is a great opportunity for a Senior Associate who is looking for a Senior Partner who will take them under their wing and on the path to Partnership.
