This is a rare opportunity to join one of Australia’s leading legal practices, advising major Australian and global fund managers across sectors such as real estate, infrastructure, renewables, private debt, and private credit.

The work is complex, interesting, and highly strategic — ideal for a technically sharp lawyer who wants to build a long-term career in the investment funds space.

The Opportunity

As part of a high-performing national team, you will:

• Advise leading fund managers on fund establishment, capital raising, and operational matters across wholesale funds, club funds, investment platforms, and retail structures.
• Support clients through new fund launches, restructures, regulatory change projects, and strategic investments.
• Collaborate across other leading practice areas — M&A, Real Estate, Projects, and Banking & Finance — on major cross-practice transactions.

This is a permanent, full-time position based in Melbourne. The firm promotes a modern, flexible working model with hybrid arrangements (around 60% in-office) and genuine openness to flexibility that supports individual balance and productivity.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:

• Experience in funds, corporate, or transactional law, gained from a top-tier, national or international firm (or comparable in-house team).
• A genuine interest in investment funds and a desire to deepen your expertise in this growing area.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset and strong commercial acumen.
• The ability to work autonomously while mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to a high-performing team culture.

The Opportunity

This firm offers unrivalled professional development and career progression opportunities. You’ll be supported by a transparent career framework, world-class learning programs, and access to international secondments through their global alliance network.

You’ll join a firm that values excellence, flexibility, and wellbeing, while encouraging its lawyers to pursue fulfilling, long-term careers.
Benefits Include:

• Financial: Market-leading remuneration, performance incentives, salary continuance insurance, referral bonuses, and extensive partner discounts.
• Wellbeing: Fully subsidised gym memberships, wellbeing and financial coaching, flu vaccinations, and access to an in-house psychologist.
• Flexibility: Hybrid working options, home office support, and the ability to purchase additional annual leave.
• Parental Support: 26 weeks paid parental leave (no minimum service) and executive coaching for returning parents.
• International Opportunities: Access to overseas secondments through global alliance partnerships.
• Community Impact: Opportunities to contribute through pro bono, environmental, reconciliation, and volunteering initiatives.
