About Gilbert + Tobin

Gilbert + Tobin is built on enduring values of excellence, trust, respect, integrity and good corporate citizenship. We are a leading firm with over 500 lawyers, trusted by our clients to navigate today’s increasingly complex world.

We are purpose-built for our clients’ most complex work - across transactions, disputes and regulation. Our partners are leaders in their fields, delivering the highest quality of legal advice and providing an exceptional edge for our clients. They also provide our lawyers the opportunity to work with and learn from them. We are innovators in the use of technology, redefining value and service in the legal industry.

Our open, merit-based culture attracts and inspires the best legal talent. Founded in 1988, G+T’s journey has been one of relentless ambition and rapid progress, achieving extraordinary success in just over three decades.

We remain as determined as ever to be the best it’s possible to be.

About Our Corporate Advisory (Equity Capital Markets (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:

  • Space X on the Australian retail offer for its USD75 billion IPO – the largest in history at the time.
  • Megaport on its acquisition of Latitude.sh and concurrent $220 million equity raising
  • 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
  • $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 and 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.
