If you are someone who takes their work seriously but doesn’t take themselves seriously, someone who looks for solutions rather than problems and someone who never says, ‘that’s not part of my job’, then HopgoodGanim is the right firm for you. Here, you won’t just be a small piece of a big machine; you will be a key and essential part of the team. Every member of our team is focused on the delivery of exceptional outcomes for our clients and on providing a level of service that is second to none. With a unique culture, the firm is recognised as a place where people are supported and enjoy working.

We are looking for a Senior Associate to join our Perth Corporate Advisory and M&A team. Offering exposure to a broad range of clients, industries, national and international organisations, you will work with market leading partners and talented, collaborative practitioners.
We are looking for someone who has at least 7 + years’ PAE, with broad experience across M&A, capital market transactions, commercial agreement negotiations and general corporate advisory. In addition, you will have an in-depth knowledge of the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. You are someone who can mentor our experienced junior practitioners, can work collaboratively with other areas of practice to drive and co-ordinate deals, and has the experience to know when to consult with other subject matter experts.

As our new Senior Associate, you can expect to regularly:

• advise and act on the spectrum of equity capital market transactions including initial public offerings; demergers and secondary raisings;
• advise on mergers, acquisitions and takeover activities including undertaking due diligence relating to transactions, negotiation and preparation of related transaction documents (such as merger implementation agreements; takeover materials and share sale agreements); and
• assist public listed companies in respect of matters such as the preparation of materials to convene General Meetings, liaising with the ASX and ASIC in respect of such materials, and compliance with the ASX Listing Rules including continuous disclosure obligations;
• provide corporate advice in respect of corporate governance issues for listed, unlisted and private companies.

If you are looking for a role where you can work closely with Partners, mentor motivated and experienced practitioners and create a pathway to grow your own practice, then this is the role for you. We are looking for someone who can help grow and develop our graduates, solicitors and associates to create a team creating exceptional outcomes for our people and clients.
We strongly encourage those who are looking to relocate to Perth or to work remotely to apply - if you have the experience, we will be flexible for the right candidate!
