About Us

Rouse Lawyers is a leading boutique commercial law firm. We provide a range of commercial and property legal services to an expanding client base across Southeast Queensland and Australia. 

We’re an expert close-knit team doing seriously good work for clients who truly value what we do.  We take out work very seriously but not ourselves. No old stuffy law firm here. We embrace freedom for our staff to do their best work in whatever form that may take.

Who we’re looking for:

• You’re located in Brisbane (or don’t mind a commute to Brisbane)
• You have the legal right to live and work in Australia (sorry – it is what it is)
• You’re a skilled commercial property lawyer, with a solid understanding of commercial conveyancing and leasing 
• You’re a planner-organiser and are known as the person who gets things done – people rely on and trust you to deliver from start to finish
• You’re a good human and believe in mutual respect 

Here’s the clincher: You’ll be ‘sleeves-up and stuck-in’ but also able to reflect and see the bigger picture. At Rouse, we all make the cake, and we all shape our strategy for the future. 

Oh, and here’s another one. We trust you. We also care about you. In return, you’ll bring an innate work ethic and consistent integrity to all that you do.

Why we hope you’ll love working for us:

• • Expertise in hotels/resorts and Islands You’ll immerse yourself into general commercial property matters of all shapes and sizes, including a fantastic niche in some of Australia’s largest hotel, resort and island transactions with a Doyle’s guide practitioner!
  • Purpose and impact: Your work here really matters, and our clients love the results and the journey we bring
  • A great career pathway: You’ll grow as a lawyer, and your name will be on the results we deliver to clients
  • Respectful, connected, energised people: Come say hi and see for yourself

• Variety: Assuming you have been exposed to commercial property work and clients, you’ll know how varied it can be and it’s important that you enjoy variety. You’ll get to know clients closely across their diverse matters.
• A culture of recognition and support: We celebrate who you are and what you do, and we do all we can to ‘travel together’

Why we fear you might not:

• You only want to work with huge developers or think that commercial leasing is beneath you
• We rarely do ridiculous hours, but we do work hard, every day
• We value feedback very highly and will expect you to challenge and be challenged. Our team loves it’s but we know that’s not for everyone
• We’re a fast-paced and energised team – not everyone’s vibe

Apply:

Please apply via SEEK, with your resume and a cover letter, sharing including two commercial property matters you have worked on recently (without client details of course)

We’ll respond to every applicant. 

Rouse Lawyers is an equal opportunity employer and is dedicated to diversity within the workplace.
