- Ability to progress quickly through quality work and a clear promotion pathway.
There is a point in your career when being a good lawyer is no longer enough.
You want to lead.
You want to mentor the lawyers coming through behind you, have a genuine influence on the team around you and be recognised financially for the value you create.
This is an prospect to do exactly that.
The firm has built a highly successful family law practice with a consistent pipeline of quality matters. There are no artificial peaks and troughs in your workload—and no expectation that you will spend your time bringing in work.
Instead, you can concentrate on becoming an even better lawyer and developing the people around you.
A genuine leadership opportunity
You will commence with one or two lawyers reporting to you, with the opportunity to take on greater leadership responsibility as the team grows.
You'll mentor junior lawyers, help develop their technical capability and play an active role in building a high-performing team.
And importantly, leadership is financially recognised.
The firm has a transparent bonus structure that rewards lawyers who develop their people and contribute to the success of their team.
So you're not simply given more responsibility.
You're rewarded for taking it.

Know exactly what comes next.
Progression is transparent. You'll understand what is required to reach Special Counsel or Partnership and be supported in achieving it.
Focus on being a lawyer.
A dedicated support team takes care of much of the administration, allowing you to spend more time advising clients and running matters.
Autonomy without isolation.
You'll manage your own caseload while working alongside Accredited Specialists and highly experienced family lawyers.
Build a career and a life.
With two days working from home and a sustainable 5-hour daily budget, you can perform at a high level without sacrificing everything outside the office.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Associate with 5+ years' PAE in family law, ideally with strong experience across both property and parenting matters.
You will have the technical capability to run your own files, the judgement to manage complex matters and, importantly, the desire to lead, mentor and develop others.
If you're ready to move beyond simply managing your own files and want to become the lawyer others look to for leadership, this could be the move that takes your career to the next level.
