If you’re a family lawyer with at least 5+ years’ experience to Senior Associate level, tired of traditional firms that talk about “work-life balance” and "supportive team environment" but never deliver it, this might be the career move you’ve been waiting for.

n

What Makes Us Different n

We get the results with purpose. Our firm is a Doyle's rated family law firm and our Managing Director, Nicole Evans, has been recognised as a Doyle's rated family lawyer and recognised across national legal awards for leadership, innovation, and excellence in family law.

n

We actually support each other. Collaboration isn’t a buzzword here, it’s how we get results and protect each other’s sanity.

n

We grow fast, and we grow together. You’ll work directly with Nicole Evans and barristers on complex, high-impact and precedent setting cases while building your own profile and career path.

n

We’re future-focused. From tech integration to AI-driven innovation,



we’re modernising family law practice while keeping humanity at the centre of it.
