Senior Lawyer | Commercial (Enterprise) 4 PQE

LegalVision is a commercial law firm built for high-performing teams who 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 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 an experienced commercial lawyer to join our Enterprise team as a Senior Lawyer in a newly created role.

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 building 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 Senior Lawyer in the Enterprise team, you will deliver technically excellent, efficient, and pragmatic legal support across a broad range of commercial matters, while also playing an important role in supporting and supervising junior lawyers and graduates.

This is a full-time role based in our Sydney HQ (hybrid working available).

• Manage multiple client matters simultaneously, adapting to different business cultures and working styles.
• Build strong relationships with in-house counsel and key business stakeholders.
• Support the supervision, training and development of junior lawyers and graduates.

• A practical, solutions-focused mindset with strong commercial acumen.
• Ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively within a high-performing team.

Benefits

• Get exposure to a diverse range of clients and legal matters, and develop close relationships with your clients. 
• Build strong supervision skills.
• 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.
• Earn additional ‘LV Leave’ days, plus paid birthday leave, volunteering leave, and parental leave.
