Description

Solicitor / Lawyer | Estate Planning & Commercial Advisory | Newly Created Role | Point Cook | Melbourne

Opportunities like this are genuinely rare.

Clear Tax Accountants, a multi-award winning advisory and accounting firm based in Point Cook, is introducing a dedicated in-house legal function as part of its next phase of growth. This is not a replacement role. This is a newly created position designed to embed legal advisory directly within a commercially focused, growth driven professional services business.

Unlike traditional legal environments, Clear Tax operates at the intersection of tax strategy, structuring, asset protection, and commercial advisory. Legal expertise plays a critical role in shaping client outcomes, and this role has been created to become a central, visible, and influential part of that process.

This is not a conventional law firm role.

This is an opportunity to help shape and build a legal capability within an established advisory business.

For the right practitioner, this position offers autonomy, variety, and the ability to contribute strategically rather than operating within rigid practice structures.

THE ROLE

As the Solicitor / Lawyer, you will become the firm’s dedicated internal legal adviser, supporting clients and advisory teams across estate planning, structuring, and commercial matters where legal decisions directly influence financial and strategic outcomes.

You will independently manage legal engagements, provide practical guidance, and draft high quality documentation aligned with broader client strategies developed within the business.

Core areas of focus include:

•        Estate planning and succession strategies
•        Wills and related advisory documentation
•        Trust and structuring matters
•        Shareholder and ownership agreements
•        Commercial legal drafting

Future scope may expand depending on capability and interest, including potential involvement in conveyancing matters.
