About the Team and Role

We have an opportunity for an Associate to Senior Associate to join our Agribusiness & Succession team within our Corporate & Commercial practice, working with Kylie Wilson in our Brisbane office.

Not all legal work is created equal. Some matters sit neatly on a page. Others sit at the centre of families, businesses, and legacies—where the advice you give today shapes what happens for generations. This role offers a chance to join a team with a love of working with repeat clients, guiding conversations, and helping them navigate complex personal and commercial decisions to secure the long-term future of their business and wealth.

You will work directly with an experienced Partner and a dynamic team across both transactional and litigious matters. The work is diverse and interesting; no two days are the same. You will focus on agribusiness, commercial transactions, structuring, asset protection, estate planning, estate administration, and estate litigation. Any desire to develop a specialty in these areas will be well supported.

Our national practice operates flexibly and very collaboratively, led by exceptional Partners who are supportive, approachable, and excellent mentors. You will join a broader collegiate office environment where everyone enjoys supporting and encouraging one another. We invest in your career with genuine progression opportunities available, ensuring you are supported, challenged, and given the space to grow.

Our Culture and Values
