Family Lawyer Part Time - 2 Days Per Week

Family Lawyer – Part-Time with Opportunity to Build a Practice

Wilding & Co Lawyers | Sydney | 2 Days per Week | Predominantly Remote

Wilding & Co Lawyers is seeking an experienced Family Lawyer with at least 4 years’ post-admission experience to take ownership of and develop our family law practice.

The position will initially be two days per week , predominantly working remotely, with the opportunity to build the role into a full-time position as the family law practice grows .

This is not simply a role managing an allocated caseload. We are looking for someone who wants to run a family law department, develop their own client base and build a substantial practice within an established and growing law firm .

The Opportunity

You will have primary responsibility for the firm’s family law practice and significant autonomy over how it develops.

The role includes:

- Managing family law matters from initial conference through to resolution;
- Parenting and children’s matters;
- Property and financial settlements;
- Divorce applications;
- Consent Orders and Binding Financial Agreements;
- Negotiations, mediation and dispute resolution;
- Drafting affidavits, applications, correspondence and court documents;
- Briefing and working with counsel;
- Court appearances where appropriate;
- Developing relationships with clients and referral partners;
- Contributing to the marketing and growth of the family law practice; and
- Over time, helping to develop the systems,



processes and team required to support a growing family law department.

You will have the opportunity to put your own stamp on the practice rather than simply stepping into a narrowly defined employee role.

About You

We are looking for a lawyer who:

- Has at least 4 years’ post-admission experience , predominantly in family law;
- Holds a current NSW practising certificate, or is eligible to obtain one;
- Can confidently manage family law matters with a high degree of autonomy;
- Has strong drafting, advocacy and negotiation skills;
- Is comfortable appearing in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia;
- Is commercially minded and interested in practice development;
- Enjoys building professional and referral relationships; and
- Wants the opportunity to grow a family law practice and ultimately make it their own within the firm .

This role would particularly suit a family lawyer who has reached the point where they want greater autonomy, responsibility and control over the direction of their practice , without the risk and administrative burden of establishing a law firm from scratch.

Working Arrangements





The position will initially be two days per week and is predominantly remote .

You will attend the office when reasonably required, particularly for initial client appointments, significant conferences and other matters where face-to-face attendance is appropriate.

We are flexible about the particular days worked.

As the practice and caseload develop, there is a genuine opportunity for the position to increase from two days per week to three, four and ultimately five days per week .

Our objective is to find someone who wants to grow with the practice rather than remain permanently limited to a two-day role.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to:

- Start with the flexibility of a two-day working week;
- Work predominantly remotely;
- Take ownership of an existing family law service offering;
- Have considerable autonomy over your files and practice;
- Build your own client and referral relationships;
- Develop a family law department with the support and infrastructure of an established firm; and
- Create a pathway to a full time role as the practice grows.

For the right lawyer, there is significant scope to develop this into a substantial long-term position within Wilding & Co Lawyers.

Remuneration

Remuneration will be negotiated based on experience and the agreed working arrangement.

We are interested in finding the right person and are open to discussing a remuneration structure that recognises both the initial part-time role and the growth of the family law practice.
