Law Opportunities - Move to Australia

Full Job Description

Opportunity for UK lawyers to relocate to Australia.

Montgomery Advisory

Montgomery Advisory is a specialist legal recruitment agency, dual headquartered in Sydney & London.

We are the largest legal recruitment business in Australia and are instructed by the most prestigious top tier (Magic Circle equivalent), international, and independent national firms across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra.

We also have a dedicated in-house legal team, who recruit for major blue-chip businesses across a range of industry sectors.

Law Opportunities

We anticipate a busy start to 2024, in fact it is already underway.

Even throughout the pandemic the Australian legal market has been extremely buoyant in recent years, with firms valuing the fresh perspective that an internationally experienced lawyer can bring.

Many of our major clients in Australia are interested to speak with UK qualified lawyers with expertise in one of the following areas:

• Private M&A
• Public M&A
• Private Equity & Venture Capital
• Banking & Finance
• Energy
• Projects/Construction
• Commercial Contracts & TMT
• Investment Funds
• Insurance

Our skilled consultants (several of whom are former top-tier lawyers) have well over 50 years’ combined recruitment experience, and have a proven track record in assisting talented lawyers in making the move from the UK to Australia. We are aware of which firms are genuinely open to sponsoring candidates and in what cities.

We would encourage any interested solicitors considering a move (whether in the short, medium or long term) with relevant law firm experience and solid academics from a respected university to get in touch for an informal telephone discussion.

NB – candidates who require visa sponsorship are encouraged to apply.

Candidates MUST be a qualified solicitor.
