We have a rare and highly sought after opportunity for an ambitious Solicitor to join our market‐leading, growth‐focused, regional Private Equity Real Estate practice. We are interested in candidates within Australia or those working in other jurisdictions, including returning Australian or internationally qualified and trained candidates keen to relocate to Australia.
About the role
In this role you will be a key market‐facing member of one of the leading Private Equity Real Estate teams in the Asia Pacific region, offering genuine opportunities for growth and progression.
The team works with leading global and regional private equity real estate sponsors, managers and investors on fast‐paced, varied, challenging and complex strategic and transactional work through the entire capital structure.

You have gained previous experience in private equity, funds, financing or commercial real estate within a first‐tier or other high‐profile practice, ideally with exposure to structuring equity‐styled investment into commercial real estate assets. You desire to continue developing an understanding of all aspects of such investment, including capital raising, partnering, credit and other debt‐styled investment.
You may have passion for merger and acquisition and funds work, with interest in commercial real estate, and experience structuring joint ventures, funds establishment, real estate credit or debt and other real estate investment and capital market transactions.
Qualifications
