Junior Corporate & Commercial Lawyer
- Join a leading Perth law firm as a Junior Corporate & Commercial Lawyer.
- Advise First Nations organisations and not-for-profits on governance and compliance.
- Engage in drafting and negotiating commercial agreements.
A well-established, leading Perth law firm is looking for a corporate and commercial lawyer to join a team doing genuinely different work: advising First Nations organisations, community-controlled corporations and not-for-profits across WA.
If you’re around 1 to 3 years post-admission and want your day-to-day legal work to have real impact beyond the transaction, this is worth a look.
What you’ll be doing
- Advising on governance, compliance and corporate structuring for a client base that includes prescribed bodies corporate, Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and community benefit trusts
- Getting hands-on with rule book and constitution reviews, trust deeds, and directors’ duties
- Working directly with the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act, a specialist area few junior lawyers get exposure to
- Drafting, negotiating and advising across a broad spread of commercial agreements
- Building relationships as a trusted advisor, not just a service provider
What you’ll bring
- 1 to 3 years’ PQE in corporate and commercial front-end work
- Genuine interest in First Nations advancement and not-for-profit/charity law
- Strong attention to detail and the organisational skills to juggle competing deadlines
- A collaborative streak and willingness to learn a specialist area of law
Why this firm
This is one of WA’s largest firms, decision-makers all based locally, with a genuinely collaborative culture rather than a big-firm hierarchy.
You’ll work across practice groups, get real support for professional development, and have the chance to get involved in Reconciliation Action Plan and Diversity & Inclusion initiatives. Add paid parental leave, an extra birthday leave day, a free onsite gym, and regular team social events.
