Seeking 2-5 years PAE in family law.
You'll be undertaking complex property matters for HNW clients, typically $3m+ and often much larger.
A close-knit, collaborative team where people genuinely support each other.
Structured career development with regular check-ins and clear promotion goals.

You know what makes a good law firm?
It's not the ping-pong table.
It's good people.
People who know what they're doing.
People who enjoy working together.
People who don't spend their days trying to outdo the person sitting next to them.
And, ideally, people who give you compelling work rather than the same file you've seen 100 times before.
That's what this opportunity offers.
I'm working with a nationalmultidisciplinary law firmthat are looking to add aFamily Lawyer with 2-5 years' PAEto their Melbourne team.
You'll join a close-knit family law team that has worked together for years.
It's a positive, outgoing group, and while they take their work seriously, they aren't interested in creating a culture where everyone is competing against everyone else.
You're part of a team.
And here's something I particularly like about this firm.
They're genuinely invested in developing younger lawyers.
The Partner leading the team is passionate about helping lawyers build their careers, and that isn't just something that gets mentioned during the interview and forgotten about once you've signed the contract.
There areformal processes in place to regularly check in with lawyers about their development, track progress towards promotion goals and identify the skills and experience they need to develop to get there.
So if you're ambitious and want to progress,



you'll have people around you who are actively invested in helping you do it.
The work is interesting, too.
Your practice willslightly weighted towards complex property matters, with exposure to parenting work as well.
You'll work with clients who have substantial asset pools - typically$3 million+, including high-net-worth individuals, with the team currently working on a matter involving an asset pool of around$120 million.
And because you're part of a multidisciplinary firm, you have the benefit of working alongside lawyers across other areas of law, with the opportunity to collaborate on matters and build a broader understanding of your clients' legal needs.
What else?
Hybrid working:3 days in the office and 2 from home.
A genuine workload:They've got an overflow of work and enough files to keep you busy.
Work you're passionate about:The team aims to give people matters that align with their interests and strengths.
A supportive, established team:You'll be joining people who genuinely enjoy working together.
Career progression:A pathway to Partnership and equity is available for the right person.
This isn't a "maybe one day" conversation - it's a genuine part of the firm's long-term structure.
A firm that invests in you:Regular development conversations, clear promotion goals and a structured approach to helping you build the skills required for the next stage of your career.
The firm isn't desperate.
That's actually a good thing.
They're looking for theright person, not just someone who happens to have a practising certificate and a pulse.
If you're a Family Lawyer who wants quality work, a strong team around you, a firm that willactively invest in your development, and a genuine pathway for the future, this could be worth a conversation.
