Better Lawyers Group is committed to making a positive impact on both client and staff experiences, championing modern, innovative practices, and fostering an outcome-focused culture amongst staff.There are two Foundation Firms currently operating under the Better Lawyers Group - Enterprise Legal and Donaldson Law:Enterprise Legal was co-founded in 2017 by current owner and Managing Director, Peta Gray. In a local market saturated by traditional law firms, Peta felt like the majority of lawyers were simply ‘going through the motions’ and doing things ‘the way that they had always been done’ for no other reason than simply that. She felt that clients, especially those located outside of the capital cities, deserved better from their lawyers and she set about starting Enterprise Legal with the audacious goal of ‘doing the law better’. From its inception, Enterprise Legal has offered specialised Business, Property and Disputes legal services of the highest quality, with a focus on delivering practical and commercially-savvy outcomes for its clients.Donaldson Law is Australia’s leading trauma-informed personal injuries law firm, with an incredible team of industry-leading lawyers and paralegals who have over 40 years of combined legal experience. Established by award-winning lawyer, Adair Donaldson, Donaldson Law has set the gold-standard in providing trauma-informed legal services to some of Australia’s most vulnerable people since commencing operation in 2016. Donaldson Law understands that clients who have suffered trauma need more than just a day in Court and a financial settlement; they need an outcome that is meaningful to them. Donaldson Law was acquired by the Better Lawyers Group as a founding brand in July 2024.The RoleAn opportunity exists for an exceptional candidate to join our team in a full-time capacity as the next ‘face of BLG’.We are seeking someone who is:ConsistentReliableApproachableEnergeticOutgoingIf you are a dynamic ‘people person’ who possesses a genuine desire to assist clients and your team members, then the Better Lawyers Group is the place for you!
