Associate | Corporate M&A | New York
Top Tier Platform | 3-6 Years Experience | Australian Lawyers
You want to break into the US market before it gets harder. Here's your pathway from top tier Australian M&A to New York BigLaw.
A top tier firm in New York is hiring a mid-level Corporate M&A Associate. They need Australian-qualified lawyers from top tier Australian firms with solid deal experience who want to relocate and build a US practice.
What you'll handle:
Run workstreams on major M&A transactions for corporates, sponsors, and investors. Negotiate transaction documents and advise on governance, compliance, and disclosure. Work directly with senior stakeholders on cross-border deals across tech, life sciences, defense, and consumer goods.
Why this accelerates your career:
US M&A experience opens global doors.
New York deal work puts you at the center of international transactions. This makes you more marketable for senior roles globally than staying in the Australian market.
You get real responsibility that builds skills faster.
Run workstreams and negotiate directly with counterparties. This accelerates your development beyond being the third associate on every deal.
E-3 visa makes relocation straightforward.
Australian lawyers have access to the E-3 visa, a fast-tracked route specifically for Australians. The process is streamlined compared to other visa pathways.
What they need:
Australian-qualified lawyer from a top tier Australian firm with 3-6 years of M&A experience. Strong drafting and negotiation skills. Public or private M&A, joint ventures, or strategic partnerships experience. Willing to relocate to New York and pursue US bar admission.
