About us

HWL Ebsworth is not your typical law firm. Our rapid rise to become the largest legal partnership in Australia shows that in our case, the differences are real. We deliver first class legal advice to our government and commercial clients in every state and territory across Australia. Firm wide, we have over 270 Partners and 1700 people.  

The opportunity

We have an opportunity for a high performing Senior Associate/Special Counsel to join our well-regarded Adelaide Property practice, led by Adam Ludlow and Damien Foulis.

You will collaborate with some of the nation's top-tier clients on significant matters and have scope to team up with national colleagues. You’ll have the opportunity to lead complex commercial, industrial and retail transactions, large commercial and residential developments (greenfield and off the plan), and leasing matters.

This role is ideal for someone who values autonomy and is ready to take the next step in their legal property career. Join a team that prioritises culture and is making a significant impact in the property sector.

To succeed in this role, ideally you'll have

  • 5+ years post admission experience within property law;
  • experience in Property development and commercial transactions;
  • strong drafting skills;
  • strong organisational skills;
  • excellent communication skills;
  • commercial acumen and critical thinking capabilities; and
  • leadership skills and a desire in developing our up-and-coming junior cohort.

What we offer

Our size, range of experience and competitive pricing model will provide you with everything you need to succeed. Unlike our competitors, our Solicitor to Partner ratio enables greater mentoring and client engagement compared to our competitors.

  • Work-Life Balance: We offer flexible work arrangements to support your work-life balance
  • Location: Our cutting-edge office is conveniently located in the heart of the Adelaide CBD amidst a fast-pace, high-networking legal community. Enjoy working in a state-of-the-art office environment with access to modern end of trip facilities.
  • Culture: Be part of a firm renowned for its friendly and down-to-earth culture.
