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 clients include national retailers, financial institutions, tech and other software businesses, and household names across a variety of industries.

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 Legal Vision 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.

We welcome applications from fully remote candidates within Australia, who currently hold an Australian Legal Practising Certificate and full work rights.
