Job Description
Several Queensland family law roles, matched to you — boutique specialist through to award-winning full-service.
Private clients.
Paid well.
Apply once.
Roles throughout QLD
Versatile work and fantastic cultures
One application.
Four cities.
A role cut to your practice, not the other way around.
I am filling family lawyer seats across Queensland at the same time: Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Mackay.
The firms are not the same shop with four letterheads.
One is a Doyle's-recognised specialist opening in Brisbane.
Others are award-winning full-service practices with established family teams.
Some want a lawyer who already runs the file.
Some want a strong 2–4 year lawyer they can grow.
Tell me how you practise.
I will tell you which seat fits.
The work:
Private-client family law: parenting, property, financial agreements, divorce, and court when the matter will not settle
Files you can own,



with support that matches the firm — tight specialist teams in some seats, broader full-service infrastructure in others
Client conferences, FDR, drafting, negotiations and appearances in the Federal Circuit and Family Court
Hybrid and in-office mix differs by firm.
Say what you need.
Who should apply?
You have family law experience in Australia — typically 2 to 10 years PQE, though a sharper or heavier CV will still be read.
You can take a parenting or property matter from first conference to a consent order or a hearing.
You write in English a client can use.
On offer?
Strong pay for the Queensland market, set to the seat and your PQE
Clear progression where the firm is built for it
Proper support — assistants, seniors, and a team that does not leave you alone with a crisis file
Flexibility
