Grow With Us As a Consultant

Australia’s legal sector is undergoing rapid transformation. The traditional law firm model is shifting in response to increased competition, client demand for lower costs, changing lawyer preferences, and efficiencies driven by artificial intelligence. These pressures are leading to lower-leveraged firm structures, a decline in partnership as the primary career goal, and the rise of alternative practice models. Firms are moving away from high-leverage structures where partners supervise large numbers of junior lawyers and towards more streamlined operations with diversified compensation arrangements. As a result, both near-retiring and emerging lawyers are increasingly able to prioritise work–life balance over the long-term pursuit of partnership.

With this in mind, we are developing smarter solutions and building stronger partnerships and alliances. We are adopting a hybrid employment structure that combines employed lawyers with specialist consultants, aiming to offer clients maximum flexibility and access to highly experienced, entrepreneurial lawyers across Australia and New Zealand. We achieve this by leveraging advanced technology for efficiency and by managing administrative duties and trust accounting on behalf of our lawyers, allowing them to focus entirely on their clients and legal work.

Our consultants enjoy full autonomy over their practices while benefiting from the backing of IR Legal and its clear, ambitious vision as a strategic partner, along with a steady flow of work that we actively source for them.
