About Law Squared

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

We’re a commercial, collaborative and human-centred legal partner, backed by smart technology and a fixed-fee model that keeps everyone focused on outcomes, not hours. No billable hours, no one-size-fits-all career path, just real ownership, genuine autonomy, and work that adds real value.

With offices across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, we’re a team shaping the future of legal services. 

Some of the responsibilities you’ll be trusted to run

  • Run point as Account Manager for one of the team’s largest clients – growing the relationship, not just servicing it
  • Lead debt and asset recovery matters across Australian jurisdictions, including breach of contract and enforcement of guarantees and indemnities
  • Build and lead a team delivering outcomes for that client base
  • Shape the Disputes + Litigation practice alongside the Head of D+L, including winning new clients that fit our ideal client profile
  • Mentor junior lawyers, and help set the standard for how the team works

What you’ll bring

  • 10+ PQE in civil litigation
  • Deep experience in debt/asset recovery litigation and insolvency (winding up, creditors’ petitions) across state and federal courts
  • A track record managing large matter portfolios and senior client relationships
  • Comfort operating autonomously – first-go confidence, backed by a collaborative team, not a partnership hierarchy

Why Law Squared  

We don’t track billable hours or set individual budgets. We’ve run “work from anywhere” since day one. Our teams hit their targets together – no siloes, no internal competition. If becoming a partner isn’t your main career driver and you want real autonomy inside a collaborative firm, this firm was built for lawyers like you.
