At Life Legacy Legal, we believe estate planning should involve more than just making a Will. We take a holistic approach, partnering with our clients throughout their life’s journey to ensure their plans evolve with their goals, needs and circumstances, offering them peace of mind now and for the future.

For our team, we are committed to creating a supportive and dynamic workplace that values continuous improvement, excellence in client service and work-life balance. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated solicitor who shares our approach to this strategic area of law to join our team.

- conducting due diligence investigations (relating to our clients’ existing documents, circumstances and asset ownership structures) and reporting on your findings;
- drafting complex Wills, enduring powers of attorney and other estate planning documents;
- working closely with clients, referrers, accountants and financial planners to develop tailored estate plans and asset protection strategies;
- managing files with meticulous attention to legal and procedural detail; and

- technical excellence in law;
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a client-focused approach;
- a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset;




- proficiency in legal practice management software (we use Actionstep and NetDocuments);
- impeccable attention to detail and accuracy; and
- a collaborative spirit and commitment to ongoing professional development.

Bonus

We are particularly interested in candidates with:

- a rural/farming background;
- experience in taxation (law or other);
- experience in commercial transactions/property/agribusiness; and/or
- specialist qualifications (including those currently studying), such as a Master of Laws in a relevant area and/or becoming an Accredited Specialist in succession law.
