Job Description

Location: Sydney CBD

Role Highlights: A genuine opportunity to take ownership of a property practice within an established boutique law firm. You will run high-value developer and investor matters end to end, own those client relationships directly, and have a clear way through to partnership in a firm that values capability over hierarchy.

 

Role Overview

Reo Group is partnering with a well-regarded independent Sydney law firm to recruit a Senior Associate for its property and construction practice. You will lead the firm's development, off the plan and leasing work, running matters end to end for tier-one developers and investors with minimal partner involvement. The firm offers tier-one capability within a boutique structure, a flat team environment and a busy, growing pipeline of high-value project work.

 

Responsibilities

  • Act for developers on off the plan sales of strata projects and land subdivisions, from contract structuring and disclosure through to registration and settlement.
  • Advise on site acquisitions, options, put and call agreements, joint ventures and development management agreements.
  • Manage commercial and retail leasing matters for landlords and tenants across Australian jurisdictions.
  • Handle commercial, industrial and residential acquisitions and disposals, Torrens title issues, easements, covenants, caveats and priority disputes.
  • Coordinate project finance and security documentation for developers and lenders.
  • Prepare master contracts, disclosure statements and draft plans, and contribute to growing the practice.

 

Candidate Profile

  • Admitted in an Australian jurisdiction with an unrestricted practising certificate and at least five years of post-admission property law experience.
  • Demonstrated experience acting for developers on off the plan sales of strata lots and subdivided land, including sunset clauses and purchaser rescission rights.
  • Substantial commercial and retail leasing experience, including working knowledge of the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW) and equivalent legislation.
  • Nationwide property experience across New South Wales and at least one other state, ideally from a distinguished mid or top tier property team.
  • Confident taking free rein of client relationships, meticulous in attention to detail, and comfortable working in a boutique environment with less structure than a large firm.
  • Working knowledge of PEXA for settlements.
