Family law chooses you as much as you choose it. If that sounds familiar, if you're drawn to this work because you want to advocate for people during some of the hardest moments of their lives, not just win a case, we would like to talk to you.
ALA Law (formerly Amanda Little & Associates) is a boutique firm in Penrith and proud to be one of the first all-female leadership teams in specialist family law in NSW.
We are looking for an experienced Family Lawyer who wishes to progress in their career, be intellectually challenged and stimulated and be surrounded by an amazing thinktank and collegiate atmosphere. The position is offered at Senior Associate or Special Counsel and we will also consider Partner at the firm for the right candidate.
You will get full autonomy over your own files, a genuine say in how the firm is run, and colleagues who will actually challenge and support you, not just say they will. If you would like to broaden your practice, our Estate Planning and Deceased Estates work and Care and Protection work, means you can mix jurisdictions, or stay purely in family law. Your choice.
