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. We have assisted over 200,000 businesses across the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and we’re just scratching the surface. We were named Law Firm of the Year at the 2021 and 2022 Australasian Law Awards and a 5 star Employer of Choice by Australiasian Lawyer in 2023.
The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Law Graduate to join our Corporate Transactions team in Sydney on a permanent basis. LegalVision was founded to improve access for every business to quality legal services, disrupt the traditional law firm model, and promote a culture of technological innovation in Australia and beyond. As a Graduate at LegalVision, you will play a critical role in bringing this mission to life.
You will assist and work alongside a team of highly experienced Capital Raising and Corporate M+A lawyers to deliver quality work and an exceptional experience to every client you interact with. We act for an incredibly diverse client base, including early stage start-ups, scale ups, VCs, government growth funds, angel investors and venture debt providers. We assist with a broad range of transactions including pre-seed capital raising to Series F rounds and beyond; small business sales to large, complex M+A deals; and debt (including venture debt) transactions.
You will receive comprehensive formal and on the job training focused on technical legal knowledge, matter management, and client service to give you a strong understanding of the legal needs of Australian businesses, in order to provide pragmatic advice.
What You’ll Be Doing
Under the supervision of our Practice Leaders and Senior Lawyers, you’ll be communicating with clients and taking care of matters from your first month! A typical day for our graduate lawyers may include (among other things):
- Conducting legal research.
- Providing oral and written advice to clients on a broad range of legal matters (including as part of our industry leading Legal Advice Consultation service).
- Drafting simple transaction documents.
- Preparing board and shareholder resolutions and other ancillary documents.
- Preparing ASIC updates.
- Assisting with due diligence (such as undertaking company and PPSR searches).
The Ideal Candidate
- Qualified with strong academics: You are a recent law graduate with strong grades and are either already admitted as a Lawyer, or will be admitted by the end of July 2024.

- Passionate about the client experience: You are focused on your clients and you’re dedicated to creating experiences that exceed client expectations.
- Personable, empathetic and resilient: You are friendly, warm and professional. You celebrate the ups and push through and learn from the downs.
- Cool and calm under pressure: You are an organised and efficient worker, and can effectively manage competing priorities.
The Perks
- Fast-paced environment with accelerated growth opportunities for high performers.
- Talented and energetic teammates across the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
- 25 days annual leave per year, plus paid birthday leave, volunteering leave, and parental leave.
- Annual budget to spend on external learning and development.
- Regular firm-wide socials, drinks and team lunches.
- Vibrant (and dog friendly!) office environment in Surry Hills, super close to Central Station.
