Job Description
About Gilbert + Tobin
At Gilbert + Tobin, we help clients navigate complexity with confidence. With more than 500 lawyers, we work on Australia’s most significant transactions, disputes and regulatory matters.
Our partners are leaders in their fields, known for sharp thinking and practical advice that gives clients a genuine edge. We’re also redefining what great legal service looks like — embracing technology, innovation and smarter ways of working.
Since 1988, our ambition has driven extraordinary growth. And we’re just getting started
Join Our Corporate Advisory (ECM and M&A) Team
We’re home to one of Australia’s leading ECM practices, with an established portfolio of listed clients across a range of sectors as well as strong relationships with all major investment banks. While we’re known for market-leading equity capital markets work, our team also works across public and private M&A for corporate clients, as well as providing disclosure, ASX Listing Rules and corporate governance advice.
That means real breadth. You won’t be siloed — you’ll work on IPOs, strategic M&A, and complex listed company matters, building into a genuinely well-rounded corporate lawyer. The team has led some of the market’s most significant transactions, including:
- Virgin Australia’s $2.3 billion IPO
- The $8.8 billion reverse takeover and ASX listing of Chemist Warehouse by Sigma Healthcare
- Guzman y Gomez’s $3 billion IPO
- A$1.6 billion sale of Eucalyptus to US-listed company, Hims & Hers Health, Inc
Our focus is doing challenging, well-executed work and giving advice that makes sense commercially and doesn’t sit on the fence.
You’ll work closely with a hands-on partner, Adam D’Andreti who values teaching and is genuinely invested in developing confident, commercially astute lawyers. We’re a friendly, supportive team that looks out for one another — and enjoys working together through the intensity of major deals.
About You
- You are a corporate lawyer with experience in ECM or M&A, and a genuine interest in developing across both.
- You enjoy the pace of live deals, are good at being across the detail, and know that good judgment (informed by technical skill) matters.
- You’re practical, solutions-focused and comfortable giving clear and responsive advice that helps clients make decisions. You also value being part of a team that shares knowledge, backs each other and has a good time while they’re doing it.
- You’re interested in deepening your exposure to listed company work, including disclosure, ASX Listing Rules and governance matters.
Above all, you want to do great work, keep developing, and be part of the deals that make headlines — in a team that’s collaborative, supportive and invested in each other’s success.
The Support Behind Your Success
At Gilbert + Tobin, high performance and genuine support go hand in hand.
You’ll be part of a team known for working closely together, approachable partners and inclusive, supportive colleagues. We believe diverse backgrounds and perspectives make us better — and we create an environment where you can bring your whole self to work.
