Senior Qualified Solicitor

Ko wai mātou | The Organisation

Join a dynamic, established, and growing general practice firm with offices in Cairns and Mareeba, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. We boast a strong pipeline of quality commercial and property work and cultivate an intelligent, supportive, and low‑ego culture. With two senior partners planning retirement within the next five years, this firm offers a structured and accelerated pathway to partnership and leadership for the right Kiwi candidates.

Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity (Two Senior Roles)

Accelerate your career into a senior leadership position with a manageable workload that supports a true coastal lifestyle.

• Senior Property Lawyer : Focus on diverse property matters, including a component of Native Title work, reporting to a senior partner.
• Senior Commercial Lawyer : Focus on broad commercial and corporate advisory matters, reporting directly to the commercial law lead.

Both roles are senior‑level and full‑time, though a part‑time arrangement (minimum 4 days / week) may be considered for exceptional candidates. You'll benefit from a manageable daily billable target of 5.5 hours in an environment where long overtime is rare.
