Legal counsel
Everlab is pioneering the next era of healthcare proactive, personalised, and, most importantly, accessible to all. Be a key part of this journey.
We usually respond within two weeks
The role
Everlab’s first dedicated legal hire. This person will own the legal function end-to-end, from day-to-day advice to high-stakes decisions, and serve as a trusted strategic partner to the executive team. There is no playbook handed to you. You write it.
Scope & seniority
Reports to: Executive team (C-suite level)
Level: Senior individual contributor
Scope: Company-wide legal coverage across all business units
Team: Solo initially, with expectation to build out as the company scales
What you’ll own day-to-day
Provide timely, practical legal guidance across core areas: commercial contracts, employment, privacy and data protection, regulatory compliance (health tech, TGA, AHPRA where relevant), IP and trademarks, ESOP and equity, and corporate governance.
Develop and own a tiered legal risk framework. Define what the business can proceed with, what requires mitigation before moving forward, and what constitutes a hard stop.
Draft, review, and negotiate a broad range of agreements, including vendor, partner, customer, and employment agreements.
Identify legal and regulatory risks early and translate them into clear, actionable recommendations for the executive team.
Manage external counsel relationships when specialist expertise is needed. Keep costs tight and briefs sharp.
Build and maintain legal processes, templates, and policies that scale with the business.
Review and approve marketing and advertising material, including website copy, case studies, member stories, and competitor comparisons, for compliance with:
AHPRA advertising guidelines
Australian Consumer Law
Health-specific restrictions on testimonials and therapeutic claims
Own the company’s IP portfolio. Manage trademark filings and renewals across AU, US, UK, and other international markets, and respond to disputes and adverse examination reports.
Support the equity program. Advise on ESOP structure, offer letters, vesting schedules, and trust arrangements as the team scales.
Stay ahead of the regulatory landscape in health tech, flagging material changes before they become problems.
What we’re looking for
Admitted lawyer with a JD and strong academic record.
6–8+ years PQE, ideally with a mix of top-tier private practice and in-house experience.
Hands-on experience in health tech, digital health, or other regulated industries.
Proven ability to make sound legal judgments under pressure, balancing legal risk with commercial pragmatism.
Comfortable operating without a team and without waiting to be directed.
Clear, direct communicator who can distil complex legal issues for non-legal stakeholders.
Builder’s mindset, with the ability to leverage AI and other tools to develop and own legal processes and systems across the company.
The right mindset
This is not a role for someone who needs structure handed to them. The right person is energised by ambiguity, defaults to action, and sees legal as a business enabler, not a blocker.
What's Next?
A member of the team will be in touch within the next 7 days to outline next steps.

About Everlab
Everlab is building the health platform of the future. We exist to deliver personalised, preventative healthcare at scale, using advanced diagnostics, AI, and real clinicians to help people live longer, healthier lives.
Today, we offer Australia's most comprehensive health assessment: 100+ biomarkers tested across bloods, imaging, and physical diagnostics, reviewed by a dedicated longevity doctor, with personalised protocols to act on the findings. We re-test every 6 months. We are not a 12-week programme. We are your health partner for life.
We are a medical company that owns the infrastructure: the technology, the clinics, the clinical frameworks, and the patient experience end to end. Our AI copilot augments 180+ clinicians. Our platform coordinates 33+ diagnostic services, 1,850 partner providers, and 30+ wearable integrations. Real doctors today. AI doctors tomorrow. Same clinical frameworks.
Our founding team includes serial entrepreneurs with $500m+ in exits and a Chief Medical Officer who left surgical training to build what he believes healthcare should be.
We are hiring people who want to do the most important work of their careers. The problems are hard. The pace is fast. The mission is real: deliver as much health, for as many people as possible, at the lowest cost.
If that excites you, we would love to hear from you.
Our team works in a hybrid model, with three days per week in the office. We are based in Sydney in Surry Hills and in Melbourne in the CBD.
