Commercial Generalist Lawyer

LegalVision is a market disruptor in the commercial legal services industry on a mission to power the success of every business by delivering legal support that is proactive, affordable and commercial. 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. There has never been a more exciting time to join our team

**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.
- 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

**How to Apply**:

- A note to recruiters: we’re all over this role, so there’s no need for you to get in touch. LegalVision does not accept unsolicited CVs or responsibility for any fees related to unsolicited CVs. Thanks_
