As Helen
Mackay, Director at Juno
Legal discusses in this podcast, Juno was established from the
get go with a different legal business model. Juno is a hybrid law
firm and on-demand legal services business. The team comprises 21
experienced in-house lawyers and two legal professionals who serve
a range of large corporates, high growth companies and public
sector clients across New Zealand and beyond.
Juno's services offerings are client-focused and comprise dedicated
in-house legal support, managed legal services, legal advisory,
legaltech consulting and bespoke solutions. Juno places its people
at the centre of everything it does. Each Juno lawyer determines
their own hours of work in consultation with clients, to have full
control of their careers. Juno's flat structure and egalitarian
approach promotes engagement and it has no unpaid overtime. Juno's
remuneration approach promotes initiative and social
contribution.
Team members develop practice areas that interest them and are
rewarded for business development efforts. 1% of profits are
donated to each lawyer’s charity of choice. It is a collegial and
supportive environment where team members work collaboratively on
client and internal projects and provide expertise and peer review
across the firm. Juno constantly innovates within its own business
and seeks to enhance its client and employee experience.
Recognition and acknowledgement of Juno’s success in building its
vision has seen the firm awarded Employer of Choice <50 lawyers
at the 2018 New Zealand Law Awards, Finalist in the same category
in the 2019 and 2020 NZ Law Awards, one of New Zealand’s most
innovative firms in 2018 and 2019 by NZ Lawyer and NZ Lawyer
Employer of Choice 2020.
