A client of ours is looking for a legal practice director, and because the arrangement is a bit different to the usual job ad we thought we'd put it here rather than on a job board.
They run a boutique employee side employment practice in Queensland. Good work, interesting clients and a growing practice, and they're at the point where they want a second senior voice rather than everything running through one person.
This is a genuine leadership role. Leading on the legal side, supervising and mentoring the solicitors, carrying your own portfolio and building the client relationships. There's real scope to shape how the practice runs.
The important part is that nothing is fixed yet. There's no set number of days, no set structure and no set figure, because they'd rather build the arrangement around the right person than advertise a role that's already been decided. Two or three days a week could work. A consultant arrangement could work if you already run your own practice and have capacity you'd like to use. Something part time to begin with while everyone works out whether it fits could work just as well. If you have a different idea, they're open to hearing it.
What is settled is that the firm handles intake, admin, billing, systems and marketing, so the work is the legal work. Remuneration would be built around a base plus what you bring in rather than a fixed salary, and the work can largely be done remotely.
If you're curious, or you know someone who might be, send us a message and we can have a confidential chat with no obligation either way
