Lawyer

Do you love trade promotions and advertising law, and want to spend more of your day on judgement and less on first drafts? At Plexus, AI does the groundwork, so your time goes on the work that needs a lawyer. Your advice goes straight to the marketing teams at some of the world’s best-known brands, including Coca-Cola, Nike, L’Oréal and Woolworths.

The role

You’ll join our Marketing Suite team, reporting to our Legal Practice Director. The team advises major consumer brands on trade promotions, the Australian Consumer Law and advertising. Every day you’ll draft and review promotional T&Cs and advertising advice. Our Promotions Drafter produces the first draft, and you bring your expertise to make it legally right, commercially sound and ready for the client within 24 hours.

There’s a steady flow of matters, which means you’ll build deep expertise quickly and see your advice come to life in campaigns within days. We work hybrid, with three days a week together at our Bourke Street office and two days working from home.

What success looks like

• Advice with the client within 24 hours on 95% of your matters
• Around 30 minutes to draft a job and 15 to review one
• Material risks flagged clearly, with a practical way forward
• At least one improvement each quarter to our templates, rules or Drafter, so every job gets a little easier

You won’t just use our tools, you’ll help shape them. Lawyers who deliver consistently and help the team work better grow into Legal Manager roles, and the people who build our playbook are the ones who lead it.

What you’ll bring

• Admitted Australian lawyer, around 5 to 6 years’ PQE
• Hands-on experience with promotional T&Cs, trade promotion permits, the Australian Consumer Law and advertising compliance, whether at a firm, in-house or agency side
• Experience managing a busy workload with tight deadlines, and looking after client relationships from start to finish
• Clear, plain-English advice that a marketer can act on
• Curiosity about AI, and examples of how you already use it in your legal work. We’d love to see this in action during the interview and a short case study

It’s a bonus if you’ve worked in-house at a consumer brand or in an alternative legal services business, or have exposure to NZ promotions, privacy or spam law.

You’ll enjoy it here if...

You like improving a first draft rather than starting from scratch, you work quickly while keeping a close eye on detail, and you like being trusted to pick up the next matter yourself. Your advice helps clients find a way forward, not just a list of risks. It’s a different rhythm to firm life, with more matters and faster turnaround, and it suits people who find that energising.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

About Plexus

Legal protects 90% of enterprise value. In most organisations, it’s still slow, expensive, and stretched impossibly thin - one lawyer for every 500 employees. Nine out of ten legal tasks go unsupported.

Plexus is the Legal Operating System for the modern enterprise. We help in-house legal teams automate and scale legal work across the business — faster, with less cost, and less risk.

We’re trusted by Coca-Cola, Nike, L’Oréal, PepsiCo, Woolworths, and Asahi. Our clients report 65% productivity gains.

We’re not a law firm. We’re not a traditional software company. We’re building something new - and we’re not done yet.
