Job description

  • Senior Corporate Commercial Lawyer 5-8 PQE
  • Leading Media & Entertainment practice with global clients
  • Boutique culture with a great work-life balance
Are you a corporate lawyer fed up with the demands and long hours of BigLaw but still want to work on intellectually stimulating corporate & commercial work in the Media, Music & Entertainment industry?

Our client seeks a focused senior corporate commercial lawyer with a passion for the entertainment industry. Lawyers with the requisite experience seeking a complete industry change into something a bit more fun, are welcome to apply (one of their SA’s came from corporate energy & mining sector for example)

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in:
  • structuring and establishing media & entertainment businesses;
  • private M&A within this sector;
  • transactional, licencing and publishing advice involving IP rights;
  • advising shareholders and directors on strategic and legal matters;
  • copyright infringement matters; and
  • contractual and other disputes.
If you lack the IP experience, that can be learned, the key thing is a strong understanding of corporate law, as you will be involved in things like the buying and selling of $100m music catalogues

If this role is a good fit for your experience and interests, please submit your CV by pressing Apply Now and we will be in touch to discuss opportunities. You can also send your CV to Emma on emmamcguigan@future-you.com.au to arrange a call
