Job Title:
Employment + Workplace Relations Lawyer
Role Type:
Full time
Forget everything you know about law firms – we've found a better way.
Law Squared is a leading Human Centred Law firm, founded in 2016 to provide a true alternative to traditional law firms - for clients and lawyers alike.
We work exclusively on an upfront, fixed-fee model, prioritising our client's success over billable hours and ensuring transparency and strategic control over their legal spend.
By focusing on outcomes and value, rather than time and task-based inputs, Law Squared seamlessly bridges the gap between legal expertise and commercial impact.
Trusted by General Counsels, in-house teams, and business leaders across a broad range of industries, Law Squared focuses on those areas crucial to business success, including Corporate + Commercial, Employment + Workplace Relations, Disputes + Litigation, Privacy + Cyber and Digital + Innovation, as well as those seeking dual jurisdictional support in Australia, the UK and/or NZ.
Law Squared has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, and London.About the role / Key Responsibilities
Working with our Employment + Workplace Relations team, this is a dynamic, fast-paced role.
Key responsibilities of this role include but are not limited to:
Completing the full spectrum of employment law work, across the hiring, managing, and firing lifecycle;
Work independently with the ability / comfort level to sign off a variety of matters and only seek support / ask questions when helpful (NB: Continuous support and assistance will be there at all times regardless)
Completing legal work as delegated, obtained, or required to be completed for ad hoc and retainer clients (including likely becoming the direct contact for one or more retainer clients);
Managing client retention – building and maintaining client relationships in line with the team's strategic plans;
Further, participating in any client acquisition and retention strategies and activities on behalf of the Employment + Workplace Relations team;
Participate in the development of the team and firm's strategic plan; and
Other duties as would fall within the ambit of the role of a solicitor including any reasonable direction or request of the Employment + Workplace Relations team and/or director.
About youThe ideal candidate:
We are looking for an employment lawyer ready to join an innovative and compelling alternative to the traditional firm.
The ideal candidate will:
Have previous law firm experience with 6-8 years of employment law experience / background;
Be able to work independently in a small team with the ability / comfort level to sign off a variety of matters and only seek support / ask questions when helpful (NB: Continuous support and assistance will be there at all times regardless);
Have no ego and be genuinely a nice person to work with;
Have experience working with, training up and developing less experienced lawyers in the team;
Be able to effectively delegate / provide instructions, and be able to give positive and constructive feedback;
Previous experience representing employers (i.e.
we generally don't represent employees);
Preferably have litigation experience (Fair Work Commission and Federal Circuit Court – and noting that we generally engage Counsel for any Final Hearings, hence appearance work is limited to earlier stages / conciliations) and enterprise bargaining experience;
Have great attention to detail;
Have strong communication skills (both verbal and written); and
Have the ability to engage effectively with clients.
Lawyers at Law Squared act in an autonomous yet collaborative way.
Unlike the traditional law firm, we do not have a hierarchical or leverage model and therefore our teams are expected to be confident in having a first go, while always being supported by their team.
Our culture fosters collaboration, not competition, so you can focus on achieving the right outcomes for our clients.Given that we have removed all hierarchical titles from our firm, it is important that becoming a partner isn't your main priority and that you are open to working in a collaborative firm that values whole team success over individual accolades.
Although we have offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, and London – candidates can be based anywhere in Australia however, the preferred location for this role is Melbourne.
How you'll benefitLaw Squared is on a mission to create a more innovative, collaborative, human centred experience for clients and employees alike.
We don't track billable hours, nor do we have financial budgets for individuals, and we've embraced a 'work from anywhere' policy since day one.
Free from the barriers of time, tenure, and ego, and aligned by team-oriented goals, we believe our results deliver the best outcomes for our clients and each other.
Our numerous employee benefits include:
Competitive salary package;
Tailored team and individual professional development program, including support to meet CPD requirements;
Annual Practising Certificate paid for by Law Squared;
Corporate gym membership via Class Pass;
Employee Assistance Program (EAP);
Employee Referral Incentive;
