Job Description

Head of Corporate | Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane based

Build the practice. Lead the team. Win the work. Help shape what corporate legal services look like next.

About Law Squared

Law Squared is the firm built for business and for lawyers who want to practice differently.

We’re a commercial, collaborative and human-centred legal partner, backed by smart technology and a model designed around outcomes rather than billable hours.

No timesheets. No individual budgets. No traditional partnership hierarchy.

With offices across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, we’re building a different kind of legal business and we’re looking for a Head of Corporate to lead the next chapter of our Corporate practice.

The opportunity

This is a senior leadership role for an experienced corporate lawyer who wants to do more than simply deliver matters.

You’ll own the growth, performance and direction of the Corporate practice; building the team, growing client relationships, originating new work and helping us rethink how corporate legal services are delivered.

Business development sits at the heart of the role. You’ll be visible in the market, activate and grow your network, develop new client relationships and build a sustainable pipeline of work for the team.

You’ll also work closely with our CEO, Executive Team and fellow Heads of Team to help shape the broader Law Squared business.

Some of the things you’ll own

• Grow a profitable and sustainable Corporate practice
• Deliver excellent legal services and support our clients to achieve their goals
• Deepen relationships with existing clients, referrers and strategic partners
• Originate new clients and matters and build a strong pipeline of work
• Lead, coach, develop and oversee legal work for a high-performing Corporate team
• Drive operational excellence and smarter ways of working
• Champion AI, technology and innovation in legal service delivery
• Help shape the future of Law Squared and our position in the market

What you’ll bring

At Law Squared, we hire for mindset as much as skillset. We’re looking for a commercially minded, client-focused leader who is energised by bringing in work and takes ownership, communicates well, and genuinely cares about doing great for our clients. Our best people are proactive, adaptable, collaborative, and always looking for smarter ways to create impact. If you value high standards, human-centred relationships, and can imagine yourself thinking differently about how legal services should be delivered, we’d love to hear from you. We're looking for someone who brings:

• Significant corporate law and transactional experience
• A demonstrated track record of winning work and developing client relationships
• A network and referral base you’re excited to activate and grow
• Experience leading and developing lawyers
• Strong commercial judgment and an ownership mindset
• Curiosity about AI, technology and how legal services will evolve
• A collaborative, team-first approach

You may currently be a Partner, Principal, Head of Practice or senior corporate lawyer ready for broader leadership responsibility.

What matters most is that you’re excited by the opportunity to build something.

Why Law Squared

We don’t track billable hours or set individual financial budgets. Our teams succeed together.

You’ll have genuine autonomy, direct access to the CEO and Executive Team, and the opportunity to influence not only the Corporate practice, but how a modern legal business operates.

If you want to build a practice, develop great people, win great work and help shape the future of legal services - we’d love to hear from you.
