Build Your Wills & Estates Career with Broader Practice Exposure
An established Brisbane commercial law firm is seeking a Lawyer with around 2–4 years’ PAE to join its Wills & Estates practice.
The firm is open to lawyers with experience in Wills & Estates, Commercial or Disputes, provided you have a genuine interest in developing your career across succession planning, estate administration and related advisory work.
You will work closely with a Partner, Senior Associate and Consultant across a broad range of Wills & Estates matters. You will also assist with disputes files as required, giving you broader exposure while continuing to build your core expertise.

Advising clients on succession and asset planning strategies
Preparing supporting estate planning and succession documents
Liaising directly with clients and professional advisers
