Property Lawyer - Senior

Murfett Legal is a leading boutique law firm in Western Australia achieving the best results for our local, national and international clients.  Established in 1990 our mission is to provide exceptional service that changes the way lawyers are viewed.  We strive to provide value that is "out of the box" and sets new benchmarks for law firms.  We are the legal team you can rely on with our innovative and pragmatic approach combined with technical excellence.

We care about our people.  We take positive steps to ensure that our staff know they are valued.  Every employee is pivotal to the success of the firm and we choose to invest in our staff, their education and their well being. We have an active social club which ensures that team activities take us outside the office to appreciate who each of us are away from the day to day.

Working closely with the director of the property team, as well as other directors and partners in other practice areas, this position has a great balance of working with the director on some matters and also having management of your own files.

With an increasing number of instructions across multiple clients with repeat work, this team is fast becoming a growing area for the firm.  This unique opportunity would suit a Senior Associate or an Associate Lawyer who has a minimum of 5 years PAE relevant to property law (but also considering candidates up to 10 years) and is keen to work in the following areas:

• reviewing, drafting and negotiating property documents;
• rural and agriculture;
• FIRB approval advice;
• acquisitions and disposals;
• financing of real estate projects; and
• general commercial advice and contract drafting.

In addition to excellent remuneration and bonus incentives being offered, you will be working in a firm where your contributions will be genuinely recognised and appreciated. We regularly engage in team activities which add to the culture of the firm.

To be successful in this role you will have:

• a minimum of 5 years experience in property law;
• experience with complex property and leasing transactions (both landlord and tenant);
• the ability to draft and negotiate complex agreements;
• a commercial approach and the ability to assess risks;
• the ability to work independently in an efficient manner;
• the ability to analyse documents and apply your technical skills;
• strong communication skills;
• a strong knowledge of the property industry;
