• Melbourne
• Unique and flexible work environment
• Relaxed, close-knit and supportive team
• Broad range of corporate and commercial work

Are you tired of working in a typical “ivory tower” law firm, or the constant pressure of personal fee budgets?  Do you want to be part of a dynamic and growing team with genuine flexibility around work location and hours? 

Sierra Legal is a boutique legal practice that was formed 10 years ago.  Our current clients, to name a few, include Bingo Industries, Bulla Dairy Foods, Chubb Insurance, Clark Rubber, Edison Growth Fund, Energy Power Systems Australia, Hisense, Medibank, Simoco Wireless Solutions, Straight Bat Private Equity and World Vision Australia.

We have offices in Melbourne and Brisbane, but when our lawyers are not out seeing clients, they are often working from home offices and communicating regularly with each other online.  All our lawyers have come from large firms (including Middletons/K&L Gates, McCullough Robertson, King Wood Mallesons and Clyde & Co) and share a common desire to practise law in a far more flexible workplace environment, but still being part of a friendly, supportive team that does interesting, high quality legal work.  Unlike most if not all other law firms, we do not have personal fee budgets, but are instead focused on the customer, by delivering top-quality and commercially focused legal services for our clients.

Another unique feature of Sierra Legal is its document automation service offering, Arreis Automation.  This involves us coding and hosting bespoke web apps for our clients, which enables them to automatically generate their own contracts and other documents themselves from Sierra Legal’s online software platform (see https://www.sierralegal.com.au/arreis).

Importantly, over the last 10 years, Sierra Legal has demonstrated an extraordinarily high retention rate with its team members, in that only 2 of our lawyers have left the business during that period!

We are looking for a talented Melbourne based corporate/commercial lawyer to join our growing team at Senior Associate or Special Counsel level, to work on a broad range of complex and interesting M&A, corporate and commercial matters. 

You will be working within a close-knit team of experienced commercial lawyers, principally in some or all of the following areas:

• Mergers and acquisitions
• Reverse listings, IPOs and public company takeovers
• Capital raisings and debt restructuring
• Commercial agreements
• General corporate legal advice
• Preparation and automation of template documents as part of Arreis Automation

We are seeking candidates who possess an outstanding analytical mind, strong interpersonal and communication skills, excellent drafting skills, attention to detail, personal integrity, self-motivation and the ability to work as part of a close-knit team.
