Senior Lawyer | Franchising

At LegalVision, we're revolutionizing the commercial legal services industry with our proactive, affordable, and commercial approach. Our mission is to empower businesses to succeed by delivering exceptional legal support. With over 200,000 businesses across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, we're just getting started. We were named Law Firm of the Year at the 2021 and 2022 Australasian Law Awards.

The Opportunity

We're seeking an experienced lawyer to lead our successful Franchising team as a Practice Leader. Our Franchising lawyers have worked with numerous franchisors to establish and grow their Australian franchise networks. We assist with drafting and negotiating franchise agreements, renewals, and surrenders, as well as franchise buybacks and sales, and franchising-related disputes. To ensure a diverse workload, you'll also assist with Intellectual Property matters.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong technical expertise in franchise law, effective project management, and exceptional client service skills. As a Practice Leader, you'll be responsible for managing a small team of talented lawyers, ensuring they're engaged and productive.

The Ideal Candidate
  • 4+ years of experience from a reputable law firm or busy in-house team;
  • Demonstrated franchising law experience advising franchisors on ACL and Franchising Code of Conduct obligations;
  • Broad commercial and consumer law experience;
  • Enthusiasm for coaching and developing direct reports and other team members;
  • A desire to work closely with clients on a daily basis and a can-do attitude;
  • Commercial acumen and the ability to think on your feet;
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills;
  • The ability to take on responsibility for day-to-day transactions;
  • Strong drafting skills (e.g., franchising/commercial/business law documents and articles for our website); and
  • A strong desire to participate in broader business development activities.
The Perks
  • A fast-paced NewLaw environment with minimal hierarchy and no corporate red tape;
  • A talented and energetic team across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK;
  • An annual budget for external learning opportunities;
  • Up to 25 days of paid annual leave per year, plus paid birthday leave, volunteering leave, and parental leave;
  • Regular team socials, drinks, and team lunches;
  • A fun and relaxed office environment in Surry Hills, close to Central Station;
  • Flexible work-from-home options.
