Take your career to the next level and join our internationally collaborative Transaction Solutions team, working on marketleading transactions for a diverse global client base._

Our Team

The Transaction Solutions team sits within our broader Capital Markets & Corporate line of business and is regarded as one of the most successful M&A and ECM practices in Australia, consistently ranking amongst the top Australian M&A and ECM firms in League Tables.

Operating internationally, the team is led by leading M&A and ECM practitioners with extensive experience in M&A (both public and private), Private Equity, Capital Markets and Corporate Advisory.

They are the trusted advisors to international and local clients across a range of industry sectors including Financial and Business Services, Agribusiness, Real Estate, Technology, Education, Government, Health & Aged Care, Infrastructure and Energy & Resources.

The team is one of the largest corporate teams in the Australian market with an independent brand which gives our lawyers the opportunity to develop their technical skills, and build their deal sheets, in high profile transactions for large international and local clients.

Your Opportunity

We continue to be busy, despite the softening economic environment, and we have an opportunity for experienced Associate to join the Brisbane team working on public and private M&A transactions spanning a range of industries.

You will work closely with Stephen Knight, the partner leading our Transaction Solutions team in Brisbane, as well as other members of the Brisbane team.

However, our integrated model means you will often have the opportunity to work collaboratively on matters with a team of experienced and supportive professionals across our network of offices.

This allows you to gain exposure to our diverse client base and play a key role advising on a variety of major domestic and cross-border deals.

You will be empowered to grow and develop at each stage of your career through our tailored learning & development programs.

The Transaction Solutions team has a long and distinguished track record of guiding several lawyers into partnership and in assisting other lawyers to secure leading international and local engagements both in private practice or in-house roles.

You will also experience world class skills training, guided by a dedicated mentor and supervisor. We have had several Lawyers Weekly 30 under 30 M&A Award winners and nominees in our team.

This demonstrates the investment we make in our junior lawyers and the great experience they receive working on a diverse range of deals for our high profile clients.
