Step into a leadership role backed by top-tier systems, BD support and freedom to build.

- Be the founding Family Law Partner in a growing, full-service Melbourne office
- Enjoy real autonomy and shape a team in your image, with national support
- Lucrative bonus structure and equity after 2 years – no politics, just results

This isn’t another lateral shuffle down the legal hallway. This is a genuine launchpad – the chance to be the founding Partner of a Family Law team in a growing Melbourne office, backed by a high-performing, well-resourced national firm that actually knows how to back a good operator.

They’ve nailed it interstate with 15 family lawyers already kicking goals. Melbourne’s got the commercial backbone – property, insurance, insolvency, litigation. What they don’t have is a leader. Not someone to warm a chair. Someone who can build a practice in their image. Autonomy, profile, potential on your terms.

What’s in it for you?

- Partner-level model without partner-level politics.



Good salary, serious bonus structure, and equity after two years.
- Lower threshold to partnership. So if your current firm’s waiting for a miracle, they’re not.
- National infrastructure, boutique mindset. Big-firm resources without big-firm red tape.
- Interstate support. Capacity for you to pass on work to interstate teams while you build your team so that you can navigate the peaks and troughs in workload.
- Real leadership. You’ll shape the team. Set the tone. Be the reason people join.

But here’s what really matters: they’re looking for someone with the character to lead. Someone people want to follow. Cultural fit and ambition matter more than a million-dollar file load and no soul.

If you’re keen to stop being a passenger and take the wheel yourself, this may be the prospect.
