Lead a new practice in a firm that actually backs growth. Impressive infrastructure, support for marketing, and a CEO who’s serious about Family Law.
Build the Family Law practice from the ground up – your name, your legacy.
Respected national firm with more than 20 Partners ready to refer work your way.
Earn 30–38% of billings plus referral bonuses across multiple practices.

Time to build something of your own (without building it alone).

They’ve got 250 staff nationally with the majority in Melbourne and not a single Family Lawyer in sight. That’s not a gap, that’s an chance with your name on it.

The CEO’s got Family Law earmarked as the next big move. They’ve got the infrastructure, the brand, and the referrals – all they need is someone who’s ready to turn that potential into a fully‑fledged practice.

What you’ll get
A Melbourne office with more than 20 Partners who are tired of referring Family matters outside the firm and would much rather send them to you.
Internal referral incentives (because nothing motivates lawyers like a %).




The backing of a respected, profitable national firm, but the freedom to make this practice your own.

What you’ll bring
A solid book of work (around the $500k mark is the starting point).
The ambition to grow – not just bill, but build.
The kind of leadership that attracts positive juniors and keeps clients coming back.

What you’ll earn

They pay 30–38% of the overall practice size depending on your setup and trajectory, plus referral bonuses for any work you send to other practices. In other words: if you’re entrepreneurial, you’ll do very well here.

This isn’t a “slot into an existing team” role. This is a “put your name on the door and shape the practice from scratch” role – with the marketing muscle and infrastructure to back you.

If you’ve ever said to yourself, “If only I had the right platform, I could build something outstanding,”

…well, this is the platform.
