Commercial Lawyer 2-4 PQE

LegalVision is a commercial law firm built for businesses that want to work differently. Through our fixed-fee legal membership, we provide unlimited legal support to SMEs and in-house teams. Our team uses custom-built technology to deliver fast, high-quality legal support with predictable pricing for clients and rewarding careers for those who work here.

With rapidly scaling operations across Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, LegalVision offers unique progression pathways, exposure to diverse work at scale, and the opportunity to be part of an innovative law firm recognised as a 5 Star Employer of Choice, a Top 25 Attraction Firm, and Law Firm of the Year.

The Opportunity

Due to the ever-increasing number of large national and multinational clients we support through our highly-regarded legal membership solution, we are recruiting mid-level lawyers to join our Commercial team.

This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with leading in-house legal teams and Australia’s biggest companies, acting as a trusted legal advisor while gaining deep exposure to complex, high-volume commercial work at scale.

Our legal membership provides large enterprises and corporate clients with flexible, on-demand legal support that integrates directly with their in-house legal function. Rather than engaging external lawyers on a transactional or hourly rate basis, clients gain access to dedicated LegalVision lawyers who assist with their business-as-usual legal needs. This allows in-house legal teams to scale efficiently, manage workflow peaks, and access specialist expertise without having to hire.

As a Lawyer in our team, you will work with your seniors to deliver technically excellent, efficient, and pragmatic legal support across a broad range of commercial matters.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as an extension of clients’ in-house legal teams, providing high-quality, responsive and practical commercial legal advice.
• Draft, review and negotiate a wide variety of commercial agreements, including supply, distribution, services, sponsorship and licensing agreements.
• Advise on general commercial matters, corporate governance and regulatory compliance issues, including Australian Consumer Law and Privacy Law.
• Manage multiple client matters simultaneously, adapting to different business cultures and working styles.
• Share your expertise through writing articles for our website, running webinars, and participating in internal training sessions.

The Ideal Candidate

• Admitted to practise in Australia with 2-4 years' post-qualification experience in private practice and/or in-house.
• Demonstrated experience in drafting and reviewing a broad range of commercial agreements. Additional experience advising on general commercial and regulatory matters across diverse industries is desirable.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build trusted relationships with highly sophisticated clients.
• A practical, solutions-focused mindset with strong commercial acumen.
• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively within a high-performing team.

Benefits

• Gain exposure to a diverse range of clients and legal matters, and develop close relationships with your clients. 
• Enjoy flexibility, autonomy and working within an incredible team, all while supercharging your career. 
• Have the ability to meaningfully contribute to the growth and direction of LegalVision.
• With our 'LV Leave' benefit, receive up to 25 days of paid annual leave per year, with additional days after 2 years of service, plus paid parental leave, birthday leave, and volunteering leave.
• Annual budget to spend on external learning and development.
• Regular team socials, drinks and team lunches.
• Vibrant office environment in Surry Hills super close to Central Station, and flexible work-from-home options.
