Are you tired of working in a typical “ivory tower” law firm? Do you want to be part of a dynamic and growing team with genuine flexibility around work location and hours?
Sierra Legal is a boutique legal practice that was formed almost 8 years ago. Our current clients, to name a few, include Atrum Coal, Aussie Farmers, BP, Chubb, Harris Capital, Hisense, Medibank, Bingo Industries, Simoco and Sodexo.
We have offices in Melbourne and Brisbane, but when our lawyers are not out seeing clients, they are often working from home offices and communicating regularly with each other online. All our lawyers have come from large firms (Middletons/K&L Gates, McCullough Robertson, King Wood Mallesons and Clyde & Co) and share a common desire to practise law in a far more flexible workplace environment, but still being part of a friendly, supportive team that does interesting, high quality legal work.
We are looking for a talented Melbourne based corporate/commercial lawyer to join our growing team at Associate or Senior Associate level, to work on a broad range of complex and interesting M&A, corporate and commercial matters.
You will be working within a close-knit team of experienced commercial lawyers in some or all of the following areas:
- Mergers and acquisitions
- IPOs, reverse listings and public company takeovers
- Capital raisings and debt restructuring
- Commercial agreements
- General corporate legal advice
We are seeking candidates who possess an outstanding analytical mind, strong interpersonal and communication skills, excellent drafting skills, attention to detail, personal integrity, self-motivation and the ability to work as part of a close-knit team.
