Family Lawyer | 100% Remote | Flexibility & Growth
$100,000 – $120,000 Salary + Super | Work from anywhere in Australia ? Love family law, but looking for a role that gives you more flexibility, autonomy and room to actually get on with being a lawyer?
HR Code is recruiting on behalf of a growing Australian family law practice looking for an experienced Family Lawyer with 3+ years' PAE to join its fully remote team.
This is a genuine work-from-anywhere-in-Australia opportunity for a capable family lawyer who enjoys taking ownership of their matters and building strong client relationships, while still having experienced senior support when they need it.

- conducting paid initial consultations and providing clear, practical advice;
- managing your own family law caseload with appropriate autonomy;
- advising clients across parenting, property and separation matters;
- drafting correspondence, agreements, court documents and advice;
- managing negotiations and progressing matters efficiently;
- maintaining strong client communication and file management;
- keeping accurate time, WIP and billing records;
- working with the Law Clerk and Client Intake team to keep matters moving efficiently;
- escalating complex or strategic matters to the Practice Director when required; and
- contributing to precedents, systems and the continued development of a high-performing remote practice.
? You'll be a great fit if you:
• have 3+ years' post-admission experience and genuine Australian family law experience;
- are comfortable running your own matters and making sound decisions;
- communicate exceptionally well with clients,
particularly during what can be a difficult period in their lives;
- have strong drafting and technical family law skills;
- are organised, commercially aware and comfortable managing your own priorities remotely;
- hold a current Australian practising certificate; and
- enjoy autonomy while still valuing access to an experienced Practice Director when a matter needs another set of eyes.
? What's on offer?
? 100% remote – work from anywhere in Australia. ? $100,000 – $120,000 + super, depending on experience and capability.
⚖️ Genuine autonomy – manage your matters without unnecessary layers of approval.

You'll also enjoy
- a national family law client base;
- a role focused on quality legal work and client outcomes;
- clear expectations and structured onboarding;
- a practice actively investing in its people, systems and client experience; and
- the opportunity to join a growing team at a stage where you can have a genuine voice in how it develops.
Set up to succeed
You won't be expected to arrive on day one with a full caseload. You'll have a structured introduction to the practice, clients and systems, with your caseload and billable expectations building progressively as you settle into the role.
What matters most is becoming a trusted and reliable member of the legal team who delivers excellent advice, takes ownership of their matters and provides a excellent experience for clients.
