Our client is a leading global advisory company that is looking for a junior lawyer to add to their Corporate M&A Team.

Corporate M&A Team

The corporate M&A team is lead by two highly regarded Directors with a quality and stable team. They are one of the the dominant M&A groups in the Australian market working across both public and private M&A. 

Position Description

This role will see you responsible for assisting the Australian team with the origination, management and closing of M&A  transactions across Australia and New Zealand. Some of your key responsibilities will include: 

• engaging with a diverse group of M&A stakeholders;
• providing technically astute transaction insurance solutions to both existing and prospective clients; 
• reviewing sale and purchase agreements, due diligence reports, and other relevant documents; and 
• managing multiple M&A deals at any one time. 

On offer is an attractive salary and an opportunity to gain exposure to a range of different corporate matters.

Requirements

You will be a junior lawyer with one to three years' post admission experience at a leading firm or similar in house team. The successful candidate will have extensive knowledge of all aspects of M&A deals, as well as strong analytical skills. In addition, you will have: 

• strong interpersonal and client engagement skills; 
• excellent attention to detail; 
• financial and accounting literacy; and
• excellent time-management ability with a team-first attitude. 

This is a great opportunity for a lawyer looking to transition out of a pure legal role into an M&A position.
