Associate Commercial Counsel

What You'll Do

Generative AI has the power to greatly change the world and directly impact how things get done. Harvey is at the forefront of this change, and our mission is to make generative AI actionable and useful for our customers. This is a fast moving environment (we are a start-up!) that is serving some of the world’s most renowned law firms and professional organisations. This role will put you in the center of all of this.

More specifically, you will

• Draft, review, and negotiate commercial AI SaaS contracts and other technology and AI-related agreements
• Provide training and develop resources in support of our sales and other cross-functional teams

We are a small, but growing company, and one of the best things about working in such an environment is that there is lots of opportunity to pick up other aspects of the legal work that supports our company. While the principal job will be as described above, for lawyers interested in learning more about product counseling and IP law, there will be ample opportunities to broaden your wheelhouse here at Harvey!

This role is based in Sydney. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week.

• Admitted to practice law in Australia with a current practising certificate
• Approximately 3-5 years post-admission experience gained in a top-tier or leading law firm and/or in-house legal team

• Ability to think creatively, function independently and work proactively in a fast-paced environment
• Team-focused and collaborative work style; willingness to build expertise and solve new challenges in an evolving practice
• Hyper-responsive and service-oriented attitude
• Ninja-like project management skills
• Bonus qualifications include experience with AI, supporting Go-To-Market/ Sales, and a love for solving hard problems with a small tight-knit team.
