We remain committed to deepening our presence in the market, in step with the needs of our private capital clients.

The Role

Our Sydney office is seeking an outstanding financial restructuring and insolvency Associate with 6 years’ plus PQE.

We continue to look to grow the team with high quality and motivated lawyers.

Joining at this stage provides an excellent opportunity to play a meaningful role in the continued growth of the practice, with significant exposure to partners, clients and high-quality domestic and international matters. Our global platform also provides the opportunity to work closely with colleagues across jurisdictions on complex cross-border transactions.

We are seeking candidates with

• Strong front-end financial restructuring and formal insolvency experience.
