Job Description

\n

You’ve done the hard yards in a system that works… until it doesn’t.

\n

You know the feeling: layers of approvals, narrow lanes, politics, and a ceiling on how big you can build. You’ve stayed, you’ve delivered, you’ve led, and now you’re ready to get out and do it properly.

\n

At BlueRock Law, this is a genuine lead-from-the-front role with a clear runway to become Head of BlueRock Commercial Law. We have a strong base, a great brand, real pipeline, and a broader multidisciplinary engine behind us. What we want now is a rainmaker and people leader who can multiply what’s already working.

Why this will appeal to you\n

\n
• You’ll be set free: Build, lead and grow without the red tape, rigid hierarchy, or “stay in your box” mentality.
\n
• You’ll have something worth building: A proven platform, strong culture, and a national business behind you — not a cold start.
\n
• You’ll have leverage: Cross-referrals and deep relationships across a multidisciplinary firm (accounting, finance, wealth, insurance, digital, grants).
\n
• You’ll have a pathway: This is a Director role with explicit Head of Commercial trajectory for the right person.
\n

What you’ll be doing\n

\n
• Lead and grow Commercial Law: Lead the Commercial practice and take meaningful ownership of strategy and outcomes.
\n
• Build a high-performing team: Recruit, mentor, coach and develop lawyers; create the next wave of leaders.
\n
• Win and expand work: Drive business development and deepen key relationships across the BlueRock client base and referral network.
\n
• Deliver excellent client outcomes: Advise across a broad range of commercial matters with pragmatic, business-first judgement.
\n
• Shape the firm’s leadership: Work with the Managing Director and the Director group to scale the Law division.
\n

The person we’re looking for\n

\n
• Has stayed in one place for a long time and has earned trust, built a book, and led teams but you’re ready for your next chapter.
\n
• Has operated in a highly constrained environment (top-tier/mid-tier, large suburban, institutional, or highly process-driven firm) and wants autonomy with accountability.
\n
• Is a genuine rainmaker: You win work, grow relationships, and create momentum, not just “support BD”.
\n
• Leads like it matters: You attract, develop and retain great lawyers; you lift standards; you create a team people want to be part of.
\n
• Thinks commercially: You understand margin, pricing, utilisation, leverage, and how to build a practice that scales.
\n

What you’ll bring\n

\n
• Experience: Typically 10+ years PQE in commercial law (or equivalent depth).
\n
• Technical credibility: Strong generalist commercial grounding; specialisation welcome.
\n
• Practice leadership: Proven ability to lead people and run matters with high standards.
\n
• Business development: Demonstrated track record of originating work and growing a practice.
\n
• Practice management: Strong habits around quality, responsiveness, risk, and efficiency.
\n

What you’ll get at BlueRock\n

\n
• In Office- High Trust Flexibility: Primarily office based but absolute flexibility when needed (we trust you and have your back).
\n
• A culture that’s actually human: Collegial, ambitious, supportive — high standards without the ego.
\n
• Real growth opportunities: Mentoring, coaching and a platform designed to promote great people.
\n
• Strong incentives: both short term and long term so you build something while you’re here.
\n
• Great benefits: BlueRock public holidays, weekly lunches, social events, Sonder wellbeing support.
\n

How to apply / confidential chat\n

If you’re ready to step out of a system that’s been holding you back, and build something substantial with clear Head of Commercial runway, we should talk.
