About Us
Big Law can be a grind – suits, harsh lighting, hierarchy, the touted perk of evening dinners for working late. Partnership is a flickering light at the end of a long tunnel and honestly, you’re tired of cancelling social catch-ups and missing your favourite gigs.
Luckily, there’s another way.
LegalVision is Australia’s fastest growing, tech-driven law firm and we’re changing the way legal services are delivered. Our business is seriously shaking things up and there’s never been a more exciting time to join.
The Opportunity
To keep up with rapid growth in our disputes and litigation practice area, we’ve created a new role for a talented and driven 3-4 PQE Disputes Lawyer to join our Melbourne office. This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level lawyer from a leading private practice firm to accelerate their career and master their craft with our seasoned Practice Leaders.
We have a broad client base, ranging from large multinational clients through to SMEs. This position suits a versatile lawyer, looking to expand their knowledge base and skill set in a fast-paced, friendly and collaborative environment.

- Building skills and knowledge outside of your area of expertise: Our legal teams work together across a range of commercial practice areas while maintaining their own specialities.
- Collaborating closely with your Practice Leaders and being part of a fun, motivated and supportive team.
The Ideal Candidate

- Startup savvy: Interested in NewLaw, startups and innovation; excited to disrupt BigLaw.
- Efficient: Prioritises effectively; focuses on what matters; smashes it out, then goes home.
