International law firm with 40 offices across 25 countries, focused on corporate and M&A work
Allens is a 200-year-old partnership operating across corporate law, M&A, and emerging venture-capital practices. The firm is mid-cycle on internal modernization: rolling out digital tools for legal service delivery, building templated solutions to reduce manual work, and implementing a data and AI governance framework. Hiring skews heavily toward senior lawyers (44 roles) and mid-level staff (43), signaling either capacity expansion in client-facing teams or a significant backfill effort post-recent departures.
Allens is an international law partnership headquartered in Sydney with over 1,000 staff across 40 offices in 25 countries through its alliance with Linklaters. The firm serves Fortune 500 companies, established financial institutions, and increasingly, high-growth startups and venture-backed companies seeking M&A and corporate counsel. Core practices include corporate law, M&A, and regulatory advisory. Recent project focus centers on resource forecasting, work-allocation optimization, supplier consolidation, and ESG compliance — all operational friction points common to firms managing rapid growth and talent scaling.
Allens uses Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Teams Rooms, Office), Jira for project management, iManage and Relativity for document and case management, Lexis+ for legal research, Azure for cloud infrastructure, and Nuix for e-discovery. LinkedIn and Instagram serve social and marketing functions.
Allens is actively expanding its tech M&A and venture-capital practice to serve fast-growing startups. Core work includes major M&A transactions, regulatory change projects, and cyber incident response services.
