Senior Associate to Partner – Leadership Role in Fast-Growing Firm
Are you a high-performing Commercial Lawyer ready to step into leadership, build something meaningful, and be rewarded for it?
Aditum Lawyers is not your typical law firm. We're a commercially minded, innovation-driven legal practice on a steep upward trajectory. Our vision is clear: build a high-performance, high-integrity firm that delivers real results to clients and opens true leadership and ownership opportunities to our team.
We're looking for a senior commercial lawyer who's ready to take action, not just someone who wants a "job", but someone who wants a seat at the table. If you've ever thought, "I could do this better if I was running the show"—this is the opportunity for you.
The Role

Run matters independently with commercial precision
Supervise and support junior lawyers and paralegals
Meet targets and deliver results without excuses
Contribute meaningfully to the firm's growth and leadership
Step into equity discussions in the near future
You'll work across a diverse portfolio of high-value clients and matters, including commercial litigation, business disputes, construction law, and general commercial advisory. You'll have autonomy, but never isolation. You'll be supported by a strong operational team and systems designed to empower, not encumber you.
What We're Looking For
Minimum 5 years PAE in commercial law (ideally with litigation and construction experience)
Track record of strong billables and client outcomes
Leadership capability – ready to supervise, manage, and guide
Future partner mindset – not just wanting a paycheque, but a share in something bigger
Principal license and willingness to be appointed as director
Sharp commercial acumen and a results-driven approach
Strong written and verbal communication
Tech-savvy, proactive, and willing to grow
What We Offer
Above-market salary + Profit Share at partner level
Lucrative bonus structure – Based on deliverables
Equity pathway – we're serious about bringing the right people into ownership
Career-defining leadership opportunity
Autonomy + support – you'll run your matters your way, backed by a strong team
Flexible working arrangements
High-quality systems, processes, and clients – no fluff or bureaucracy
Why Aditum Lawyers?
A bold and visionary firm with big goals and the momentum to back them
Real opportunities to influence direction, culture, and outcomes
A principal who understands that leadership means giving, not just demanding
Access to exciting new projects, national expansion, and a supportive environment that rewards ambition
