Senior Lawyer Picture yourself in a polished Melbourne CBD office, high above the city, working in a specialist boutique where trust comes first and hierarchy stays out of the way. This is a senior role for a lawyer who wants proper ownership. You'll run quality franchising and commercial matters end to end, work closely with the principal, and enjoy the kind of autonomy that usually takes years to earn. Why you'll love it here The lifestyle and setup are a big part of the appeal. The office is in Melbourne CBD at Level 11, with flexibility to work remotely by agreement and attend the office on client or principal need basis, giving you the best of both worlds: a premium city base when you want it, and breathing room when you need it. The salary is $170,000 to $200,000 , with clear progression into leadership and potential equity. About the role You'll take full carriage of matters from first advice to resolution across franchising, SME advisory, property and leasing, licensing, ACL and related commercial work. You'll also lead negotiations, represent clients in ADR, build trusted client relationships, and help shape the standards, culture and direction of a lean, commercially driven practice. What you'll bring You'll likely have 4-10 years' PAE, strong commercial judgment and the confidence to work independently without needing constant oversight. This will suit a lawyer who wants to do high-quality legal work in a smart, modern boutique environment, with flexibility, professional respect and the chance to grow into something bigger.
