More than just a Job

We're seeking a Legal Adviser to join our Legal team, reporting to the Head of Legal.

This role provides legal support across both domestic and international matters — from drafting and reviewing Franchise Agreements and the Franchise Disclosure Document, to managing insurance renewals, claims and disputes, and helping protect Poolwerx's intellectual property. It's a broad, hands‑on legal role suited to someone who enjoys variety and wants exposure to franchising, commercial and corporate work.

What You'll Achieve

- Assist in drafting and reviewing Franchise Agreements, Deeds of Variation, Loan Agreements, Business Sale Agreements, Leases and other commercial contracts
- Prepare and update Franchise Disclosure Documents for Australia,



New Zealand and the United States in line with relevant Codes and legislation
- Draft and negotiate Step‑In‑Deeds and other leasing documentation
- Manage all insurance renewals, claims and disputes for the Poolwerx Group and Franchise Partners
- Support the registration and protection of Poolwerx intellectual property, including business names, domain names and trademarks
- Maintain master legal spreadsheets and registers across ANZ and the US, ensuring agreements, leases and insurances stay current
- Assist the Head of Legal with precedent templates, operations manuals and ad hoc legal projects
- Provide general legal advice to internal stakeholders on franchising, product warranties and related matters

What You'll Bring

- A law degree from a recognised university
- Approximately 18 months–2 years' PQE as a commercial/corporate lawyer (in‑house or private practice)
- General commercial and business transactions experience
- Franchising experience highly regarded, though not essential
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
- Strong Microsoft Word skills

Why Poolwerx?

We're proud of our collaborative, down‑to‑earth culture where people genuinely enjoy working together. This role offers genuine variety — you'll work across franchise agreements, disclosure documents, leasing, insurance and IP, with direct exposure to the Head of Legal and stakeholders across our ANZ and US network.

Ready to make an impact?

If you're a commercially minded lawyer looking to broaden your experience across franchising, commercial contracts and IP, we'd love to hear from you.
