Associate Commercial Counsel

WHY HARVEY

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for a lawyer to join our legal team to expand our commercial function. You will interface with our go-to-market, business and cross-functional teams (including Engineering, Product, Privacy and Security) to help ensure the fast, efficient execution of our agreements with customers.

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.

WHAT YOU HAVE

• 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
• Transactional background including SaaS / technology and IP-rich commercial agreements
• Familiarity with Australian privacy and data protection law as well as financial services regulatory concepts (including working with APRA-regulated institutions) well regarded
• 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.
