Why Kennedy Spanner Lawyers?

At Kennedy Spanner Lawyers, culture is not something we talk about once a year. It shapes how we work every day.

Our team values clear communication, teamwork, humility, integrity and taking ownership of our responsibilities. We take pride in the quality of our work and the relationships we build with clients and colleagues alike.

You'll work alongside experienced practitioners who are invested in your development and willing to share their knowledge and experience.

The Opportunity

You will work across a broad range of family law matters including:

- Parenting disputes
- Property settlements
- Divorce applications
- Domestic and family violence matters
- Child protection matters

You'll manage your own files appropriate to your level of experience while working closely with two Directors who have a combined 35+ years of post-admission experience in family law. This is an opportunity to develop your technical skills, build confidence in client management, and gain exposure to a wide variety of family law matters within a supportive and collaborative workplace.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with lawyers who:

- Have at least 2 years' post-admission experience in family law
- Communicate clearly and confidently with clients
- Are organised, proactive and take ownership of their work
- Enjoy working as part of a team
- Want to continue developing both technically and professionally

Experience in advocacy, negotiations and complex parenting or property matters will be highly regarded, however attitude and willingness to learn are equally important. Just as important as technical ability is your approach to practice. We value lawyers who communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, keep matters moving and genuinely care about the clients they represent.

If you're someone who enjoys working collaboratively, mentoring support staff and contributing to a positive team culture, you'll fit in well here.

While this role is focused on family law,



we recognise that many lawyers enjoy variety in their practice. If you have experience in another area of law, or are interested in maintaining exposure to another practice area alongside family law, we're open to discussing how that might work for the right candidate.

Career Progression

This role is ideal for a lawyer who wants more than simply another job.

As the practice continues to grow, there will be opportunities for increased responsibility, leadership and professional development for the right person.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career and become an important part of the future of our family law team.

Beyond the File

We encourage our lawyers to develop their professional profile and referral networks through networking, community engagement, content creation and business development activities.

You'll be supported to build your reputation within the profession and the wider community.

Why Toowoomba?

Toowoomba offers the opportunity to enjoy a rewarding legal career while maintaining a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in larger metropolitan centres.

With a strong professional community, affordable housing, excellent schools and a short commute, many lawyers find they can focus more on their clients, their careers and their lives outside the office.
