The posting

The Role

We have a rare opportunity for a Senior Associate to join our leading Financial Services team in Sydney.

Working closely with Partners Matt Daley and Vanessa Pallone, this is a rewarding opportunity for an experienced senior lawyer seeking to join this highly ranked, premier team and play a lead role on advisory and transactional matters across investment funds, superannuation and financial services.

You will play a lead role in advising a diverse client base across the financial services industry — including fund managers, superannuation trustees, wealth managers, platform operators, investment banks and financial advice businesses.

Your work will span the full lifecycle of funds and products — from structuring and establishing collective investment vehicles and alternative product offerings through to licensing, governance, disclosure, distribution and ongoing regulatory compliance matters. The role encompasses significant transactional mandates, including large-scale domestic and international fund structures across traditional and emerging areas such as sustainable finance, private credit and fintech.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a commercially-minded lawyer who thrives on high-profile matters for top players within the financial services sector.

Skills & Experience

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • 5-8 years’ post qualification experience, with demonstrated time in a Senior Associate (or equivalent) role;
  • A solid background in financial services regulatory, funds / investment product and/or superannuation matters; with demonstrated experienced advising on the establishment of managed investment schemes and superannuation products;
  • Exceptional drafting skills with high attention to detail;
  • Demonstrated capability to work autonomously as well as within a team to manage a diverse workload;
  • Experience in supervision and mentoring of junior team members;
  • A high degree of commerciality and commitment to client service;
  • Strong communication and practical problem solving skills;
  • A desire to develop and participate in business development initiatives;
  • A proactive attitude towards personal development to expand your skills and knowledge to meet evolving client needs.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
