We are seeking an experienced Commercial & Property Lawyer to support an established Australian law firm based in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in commercial law, with practical experience across property transactions, conveyancing, and general commercial advisory matters.

This role is suited to a versatile legal professional who is comfortable managing a broad range of commercial and property matters rather than specialising exclusively in one area. Experience working within a multidisciplinary law firm, particularly one offering wills and estates, property, and commercial legal services, will be highly regarded.

Responsibilities:

• Provide practical legal advice to clients on a broad range of commercial, business, and property law matters within the Australian jurisdiction.

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial agreements, including business sale and purchase agreements, shareholder agreements, service agreements, and other commercial contracts.

• Advise on property-related transactions, including commercial and residential property matters, leases, and conveyancing.

• Assist clients with business structuring, commercial transactions, contractual obligations, and risk management.

• Conduct legal due diligence and identify potential legal and commercial risks associated with business and property transactions.

• Manage matters independently from initial client consultation through to completion, ensuring timely and commercially sound outcomes.

• Collaborate with colleagues across property, conveyancing, wills and estates, and other practice areas where matters overlap.

• Maintain strong client relationships by providing clear, responsive, and commercially practical legal advice.

• Stay informed of developments in Australian commercial and property law, particularly relevant Victorian legislation and regulations.

Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree in Law and current admission to practise as an Australian lawyer, with eligibility to practise in Victoria.

• Ideally 5 or more years of post-admission experience in commercial law, property law, or a combination of both.

• Demonstrated experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial contracts and advising on business transactions.

• Practical experience in property law, commercial leasing, conveyancing, or related property transactions.

• Strong understanding of Australian commercial law and Victorian property legislation and legal procedures.

• Experience working within a general practice or multidisciplinary law firm will be highly regarded.

• Exposure to wills and estates, succession planning, or related private client matters would be advantageous.

• Strong commercial acumen, attention to detail, and ability to provide practical, solutions-focused legal advice.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to manage client relationships independently.

• Must be based onshore in Australia, preferably in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, with the ability to meet the firm's working arrangements.
