About Law Squared
Law Squared is a leading Human‐Centred Law firm founded in 2016 to provide an innovative, compelling alternative to traditional law firms – for clients and lawyers alike. We work exclusively on an upfront, fixed‐fee model, prioritising our clients' success over billable hours and ensuring transparency and strategic control over their legal spend. By focusing on outcomes and value, rather than time and task‐based inputs, we seamlessly bridge the gap between legal expertise and commercial impact. Trusted by ASX‐listed entities, multinational clients, General Counsels, in‐house teams, and business leaders across a broad range of industries, we focus on Corporate, Commercial, Employment + Workplace Relations, Property + Projects and Disputes + Litigation, as well as dual jurisdictional support in Australia, the UK and/or NZ. Our offices are located in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, and London.
About The Role
Working within our Property + Projects (Energy & Infrastructure) Team, you will manage property clients with a key focus on general property (no residential conveyancing) and leasing matters. The key responsibilities of this role include (but are not limited to):
Legal Service Delivery
* Australia‐wide lease negotiation & documentation: preparing, reviewing and negotiating leases, assignments, variations, surrenders, renewals, consent deeds, AFLs and other lease‐related documents for both retail and non‐retail leases.
* Portfolio management: reviewing and tracking property and leasing portfolios for large retail clients.
* Property advice: providing bespoke advice across a range of leasing and wider property related matters including developments, commercial sales and acquisitions, market entry advice, early termination strategies, retail legislation compliance and more.
* Fitout & construction: preparing, reviewing and negotiating construction and fitout related agreements.
Client Management
Nurturing our current clients and assisting to attract new clients. This people‐first role involves building relationships with current and new clients every day.
Business Development
Supporting Law Squared's clients, both current and future, by working closely with our Brand + Engagement Team on events, campaigns and executing new ideas to reach new clients in the Renewable Energy space.
About You
At Law Squared, we hire for mindset as much as skillset. We're looking for commercially minded, client‐focused people who take ownership, communicate well, and genuinely care about doing great work. Our best people are proactive, adaptable, collaborative, and always looking for smarter ways to create impact.
The Ideal Candidate
* Qualified – Bachelor of Laws (LLB) or equivalent legal qualification.
* Experienced – 8+ years PQE in retail and commercial leasing matters. Experience working with large retail brands across different States and Territories is favourable.
* Knowledgeable – demonstrates deep working knowledge of retail legislation and stays current with legislative and case law developments.
* High performing player – can autonomously run own matters and takes pride in quality, professionalism, and attention to detail.
* Commercially minded – understands the bigger picture and focuses on outcomes that create value for clients and the business.
* Client‐centred – personable and genuinely cares about delivering an exceptional experience and building trusted relationships.
* Accountable – takes ownership, follows through on commitments, and shows up as required for their team and clients.
* Adaptable and growth‐oriented – open to change, eager to learn, and committed to continuous improvement.
* Tech and AI proficient – proficient in or enthusiastic about learning new technology tools; we are a paperless, tech‐enabled law firm.
* Collaborative – a generous team player who communicates well, supports others, and contributes positively to culture.
* Proactive – takes initiative, solves problems early, and looks for smarter ways of working.
We're looking for someone who can take ownership of their own matters and run them with a high degree of autonomy. We don't have a partnership model, so it is important that becoming a partner isn't your main priority. We value whole‐team success over individual accolades.
