We’re Not Your Typical Family Law Firm - and That’s Exactly the Point!

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.

At Barker Evans Lawyers, we’ve built something different. We’re a Doyle's rated, award-winning, media-recognised boutique practice leading the next generation of family law in Australia, and we’re growing. We are also a really fun place to work!

Our sleekly designed office is located in Civic Tower, directly opposite the Federal Circuit and Family Court.

What Makes Us Different

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.

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

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.

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.

We value personality. We’re a team of professionals who take our work seriously, but not ourselves.

“We’re not building the biggest firm. We’re building the best place to practise family law.”
