Our innovative membership model and custom-built technology allow our team to provide a faster, better quality and more cost-effective client experience. We have been named a LinkedIn Top Startup, one of Lawyers Weekly’s Top 25 Attraction Firms, and Law Firm of the Year at the Australasian Law Awards.

The Opportunity

This isn’t your typical commercial lawyer role. We are looking for an entrepreneurial, sales focused and versatile commercial lawyer to join our Sydney team on a full time basis in this unique and newly created business development role. 

This opportunity is ideal for a generalist commercial lawyer with at least three years of experience in private practice. Previous client-facing experience in business development (sales) is ideal for this role, but the determination to win new business and exceed targets is critical.

On a day-to-day basis, you will speak with inbound SME leads to gain an understanding of their commercial legal needs, with the goal of:

• determining whether LegalVision can assist them;
• identifying the appropriate legal project to address their questions or situation; and
• scoping and quoting their legal project, and assisting with their onboarding as a LegalVision client.

Success on the job requires the ability to distill complex legal concepts into clear, accessible language for business owners, while demonstrating strong persuasive communication skills and creative problem-solving to effectively convert prospects into clients.

We assist with a broad range of commercial areas, largely for SME clients. Some of the common areas this role will handle include (among others):

• Business sales and purchases;
• Franchising and leasing;
• General commercial contracts;
• Employment matters; and
• Trade marks.

The Ideal Candidate

• Experienced: At least three years of solid law firm experience, specialising in at least one of LegalVision’s commercial legal areas. You do not need to have a current practising certificate. Sales and business development experience in a legal context would be highly desirable.
• Hungry: You want to control your own earning potential with access to uncapped commissions, and are motivated by results rather than delivering legal work.
• Communication: Great verbal and written communication is essential.
• Commercial: Practical, pragmatic and focuses on what’s important.
• Efficient: Prioritises effectively; focuses on what matters; delivers on time.
• Exceptional Client Service Skills: You love working with all types of businesses - big and small - and get a buzz out of providing them with the highest possible client experience, every time.

The Perks

• Fast-paced NewLaw environment with exciting growth opportunities and no corporate red tape.
• Talented and energetic team members across Australia, New Zealand and UK.
• Annual budget to spend on external learning opportunities.
• Up to 25 days of paid annual leave per year, as well paid birthday leave, volunteering leave, and parental leave.
• Regular team socials, drinks and team lunches.
• Fun and relaxed office environment in Surry Hills super close to Central Station
