Commercial / Corporate Partner - Melbourne
A growing national firm is seeking an experienced Commercial / Corporate Partner to join its expanding Melbourne office.
With brand‑new offices, a genuinely collaborative culture and a strong commercial client base, this is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role without the politics that often come with partnership. This is a place where your experience, judgement and leadership do the talking.
The firm acts for a broad mix of SMEs, private companies, founders, commercial operators, insolvency practitioners, developers, financiers and individuals needing sharp commercial advice. A portable practice is welcome but not essential - there is steady workflow and strong cross‑referral support.
About you:
* Senior experience in commercial, corporate or transactional work
* A pragmatic, relationship-driven approach
* Confidence leading matters and mentoring a growing team over time
* Interest in shaping the Melbourne office and driving growth
The role & firm:
* A modern, well-resourced platform with genuine national support
* Freedom to build your practice your way - without bureaucracy
* A visible leadership role in a growing Melbourne office
* A values-driven partnership that rewards contribution
* A client base spanning SMEs, private companies, developers, financiers and commercial operators
If you're looking for a fresh environment where you can lead, influence and grow - and let your work speak for itself - this is worth exploring.
