About this role
The work is land and the deal that sits on it.
I am filling more than one Commercial & Property seat in Brisbane.
The firms differ — established Queensland practices and national teams — but the brief is the same: you will not be parked on a residential settlement list.
You will act on property that needs thinking, and on commercial deals that happen to have a title, a lease or a business attached.
One application. I will match the seat to how you actually practise.
The mix:
• Commercial property: sales and purchases, developments, due diligence, and the documents that get the land from A to B
• Leasing for landlords and occupiers, including the disputes and variations that follow a live lease
• Business and share sales where the asset is the company, the site, or both
• Commercial contracts — supply, shareholders, joint ventures, and the side letters clients treat as afterthoughts until they are not
• Advice that a director can use: risk, structure, and what to sign
Some seats lean property. Some lean transactions. None of them are a mill.
Who this is for?
You already practise in commercial property, commercial transactions, or both. You can run a file from instruction to completion, draft without hiding behind a precedent, and explain a title or a clause in a sentence.
A typical fit is 2 to 8 years’ PAE. Heavier or lighter CVs will still be read if the mix is real.
What is on the table?
• Competitive $$
• A high-quality mix instead of one product line
• Teams that expect you to own the file, with principals who still review the hard points
• Hybrid arrangements that vary — say what you need
