Having proved that we can do even serious corporate-type law in a way which doesn't leave clients feeling like they'd rather eat their own kidneys than ever deal with lawyers again, we're looking for somebody truly exceptional to help make that happen.

The person we're seeking is a mid level lawyer, probably around 18 months to 4 or even 5 years PQE, who has some experience in corporate work, ideally private M&A, capital raisings and corporate governance, but we’re happy to chat with a keen bean who has some commercial law basics covered and is looking to skill up.

We'll need to be convinced that you want to be a really excellent lawyer and that you want to build on everything you’ve learnt in an environment which bears no resemblance to a shark tank. This is not an opportunity for the faint-hearted.

Marque is out there, noisy, very commercial and very underwhelmed by expensive suits and boardroom tables. We're into doing good and interesting work, loving our clients, being loved by them, firm-wide banter and punching above our weight at most things.

You'll have nowhere to hide here, but you'll have our 100% support and you'll never have to stab anyone else just to get ahead. You'll also never have to fill in a timesheet, or fulfill a KPI, again.

Applications to michaelb@marquelawyers.com.au. There's no harm in asking the question.
