Our Role We are seeking a 2-4 PQE solicitor to join our Banking & Finance team due to sustained client demand and a strong pipeline of new, innovative and market leading work. Our Work Our team is known for its breadth and depth of expertise and is recognised as Australia\'s leading team of derivatives, financial markets, financial infrastructure, payments and digital asset lawyers, acting as counsel to many Australian and international financial institutions, market infrastructure providers, state entities, funds, corporates and industry bodies (including ISDA, ICMA and AFMA) in relation to derivatives and financial market transactions, collateral, netting and financial services regulation. You will work closely with Max Allan, a leading figure in the Australian financial market.
