Commercial Disputes Lawyer - Sales
Legal Vision
LegalVision is a market disruptor in the commercial legal services industry. 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 clear progression, exposure to complex 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
This isn’t your typical commercial litigation role! We are looking for an experienced and versatile commercial dispute resolution lawyer to join our Sydney team on a full time basis in this unique and newly created position, which has a strong commercial focus.
This opportunity represents an exciting alternative career pathway for lawyers who are looking to step away from the traditional partnership track and move into a more commercially focused leadership position. Rather than progressing through the conventional route from senior associate to partner, you will develop a broader skill set spanning legal practice, client strategy, and business development - with a clear pathway into a senior business development and commercial leadership role within LegalVision.
On a day-to-day basis, you will speak with potential clients to gain an understanding of their dispute, with the goal of:
- understanding their legal issues;
- providing initial strategic advice on how best LegalVision can help resolve their dispute;
- scoping and quoting their dispute; and
- assisting with their onboarding as a LegalVision client.
You will then work closely with the Practice Group Leader of the Disputes team to delegate ongoing work to the team and oversee the successful implementation of case strategy.
We assist with a broad range of commercial disputes and contentious matters. Some of the contentious matters we assist with include (among others):
- shareholder and directors disputes;
- general commercial contracts disputes;
- leasing, franchising, construction and employment disputes; and
- copyright and IP infringement disputes.
The Ideal Candidate
- Australian qualified lawyer with at least 4 years' PQE experience in commercial disputes in a private practice environment.
- Demonstrated experience in client relationship management, with a proven ability to communicate complex legal matters clearly and build strong client rapport.
- Assisted in advising clients on litigation strategy, assessing case merits, and supporting the preparation of cost estimates and budget forecasts.
- Excited to utilise technical legal skills in a more commercial role.
The Perks
- Meaningfully contribute to the growth and direction of LegalVision in a unique role.
- 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.
