We are passionate about constantly providing value to our clients - their business success is our priority. This focus on client value is a key reason for our success.
The role:
The recent successful addition of two B+F Partners in our Perth office gives rise to an opportunity for an ambitious lawyer to take advantage of a clear career path.
We are currently searching for a 3+ year PAE lawyer to join the Banking & Finance team in our Perth office.
One of Perth’s most experienced B+F Partners Nicholas Creed has been joined by internationally experienced Chris Bishop to create a new and fast growing team that has grown to six staff within 12 months.
Nick is consistently ranked at the top of the Perth market across resources, property and corporate finance and has a fine reputation for developing generations of young lawyers and launching them into great careers.
Chris has recently returned to Perth from the Singapore B+F practice of Allen & Overy where he was a partner and regularly ranked as a market leader in Chambers and other directories. He brings unrivalled international projects and corporate finance experience to Perth, where he advises domestic and international clients on a broad spectrum of finance matters.
The successful candidate will work with both Nick and Chris to continue the expansion of the practice and be supported by six other colleagues.
In this role the successful candidate will work on high profile national and international matters in a dynamic team environment. You will have direct contact with clients including major banks and other large financial institutions and private lenders who are active in the Australian resources, and renewables, real estate and corporate lending markets.
The legal work is diverse and challenging with a range of matters involving documenting, negotiating and settling transactions in the areas of resources and renewables financing, property and construction finance, asset finance and general corporate funding. You will have exposure to diverse industry sectors including property and construction, hospitality, professional services, manufacturing, aged care and health.
Requirements:
To be successful in this role, you will need to have:
* 3+ years PAE in a reputable front-end Banking & Finance focused practice
* Experience in documenting, negotiating and settling finance transactions involving banks and other financial institutions
* Strong commitment to client services and advanced communication and research skills
Ideally, you are able to work both autonomously and in a team environment (in particular one on one with partners). This is a genuine opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and growing firm and practice, and become an integral member of this team.

At Thomson Geer, we are proud to offer our employees a high performing environment with accountability and modern working practices.
