Run your own files. Learn from Accredited Specialists. Finish the day in time for the beach.
This is the kind of role early-career family lawyers are told to wait five years for. An established Gold Coast practice is opening its doors to a lawyer with just 1+ year post-admission experience, and backing them with real mentoring, real files and a genuine pathway to Associate and beyond.
Why you will want this one
- Run your own files from the start, with a senior lawyer beside you when matters get complex
- Hands-on mentoring from Accredited Specialists in Family Law, not a desk and a caseload
- Realistic billing targets and a team that respects your life outside the office
- Clear promotion pathway plus firm-funded support towards Specialist Accreditation
- Full paralegal and admin support so your time goes into lawyering, not photocopying
- Modern Gold Coast office minutes from the water, with parking and public transport at the door
- Salary reviewed annually and rewarded on performance
What you will be doing
- Managing your own file load across property settlements,
parenting matters and divorce
- Advising clients on consent orders, de facto disputes and financial disclosure
- Drafting affidavits, applications and correspondence that stand up in court
- Attending mediations, settlement conferences and court alongside senior practitioners
- Building the client relationships that become referrals and repeat work
What you will bring
- Admission to practice in Queensland with a current practising certificate
- 1+ year post-admission experience, with some exposure to family law
- Sharp drafting and clear, human communication
- Empathy and resilience, because family law clients are people first
- Ambition to grow and the confidence to ask questions along the way
Not sure you tick every box? Apply anyway. We would rather talk to a outstanding lawyer with room to grow than tick a list. Apply with your CV, or reach out for a confidential, no-pressure conversation. All enquiries are treated in strict confidence.
