LegalVision is a market disruptor in the commercial legal services industry. Our mission is to power the success of every business by delivering legal support that is proactive, affordable and commercial, and the key way we do this is through our industry-first legal services membership.

  • The ability to step up and take on responsibility for day to day transactions;
  • Strong drafting skills (eg. franchising/commercial/business law documents, as well as articles for our website); and
  • A strong desire to get involved in broader business development activities both in the office and outside of it.

The Perks
  • Fast-paced NewLaw environment with minimal hierarchy 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.
