A Better Platform for Your Family Law Career
Sometimes the best career moves are about finding a better platform.
A firm with a strong pipeline of quality work. A clear path to progression. Good people around you. The autonomy to run your own practice. And the opportunity to build and lead a team.
That's what this opportunity offers.
The firm has built a highly successful family law practice with a
consistent flow of quality matters
, allowing you to concentrate on running complex matters, advising clients and developing your judgement rather than worrying about where your next piece of work will come from.

The firm's strong digital marketing capability generates a consistent pipeline of family law matters, giving you continual exposure to quality work and the opportunity to develop your technical and commercial judgement.
Know what comes next.

Special Counsel and Partnership
, with clear expectations around performance, leadership and contribution. You'll know what is required and have regular conversations about your progression.
Lead and develop others.




You'll have the opportunity to
supervise and mentor junior lawyers and build a high-performing team
. Leadership isn't simply an added responsibility – it is financially recognised through a transparent leadership bonus linked to team performance.
Focus on being a lawyer.
A dedicated support team handles much of the administration, allowing you to spend more time advising clients and running matters.
Autonomy without isolation.
You'll manage your own files and client relationships while working alongside experienced family lawyers, including Accredited Specialists.

Senior Associate or Special Counsel with 5+ years' PAE in family law
