General counsel

Gold Coast
The SELL Life
Compliance Director
Posted: 6 March
Offer description

What if you could earn more than a full-time General Counsel — without the internal politics, fixed salary ceiling, or executive treadmill?

We're helping experienced in-house lawyers in Brisbane explore fractional General Counsel opportunities.

By starting this career path with us, you gain the best of both worlds:

The credibility and infrastructure of established firms and referral partners — combined with the freedom to build a high-value portfolio practice on your own terms.

This is what we call self-employment with a safety net — autonomy with structure, income with scalability.

What You'll Receive
* 70–80% of billables paid directly to you
* Flexible contract structure — choose your portfolio of clients
* Remote-first with optional office access
* Full compliance, trust accounting, and PI insurance support
* Administrative and billing infrastructure handled for you
* The ability to scale from 1 retained client to 5+ over time
Business Development Support from The SELL Life

We don't just place you and disappear.

You receive:

* Personalised strategy to position yourself as a retained strategic advisor
* Frameworks for packaging fractional GC services into predictable monthly retainers
* Access to a curated referral network of commercial lawyers and founders
* Vendor discounts and member benefits that rival national firms
* Courses, templates, and playbooks for scaling a portfolio practice
* Regular CPD and strategy sessions focused on growth, not just compliance
* Live sessions designed to solve business development bottlenecks
Who is This Is For?
* Senior lawyers with in-house experience who are already acting as a strategic business partner
* Want higher income potential than fixed executive salary
* Prefer influence over internal hierarchy
* Are commercially minded and confident advising founders or boards
* Value autonomy but don't want to build everything from scratch
The Result
* Replace or exceed their corporate salary
* Work across diverse, growth-focused businesses
* Build equity-like upside through long-term client relationships
* Create a practice that belongs entirely to them

This is not a traditional role.

It's a platform to build something of your own — with the backing of an international network of entrepreneurial lawyers.
