This role is different. This is a firm where your technical skills are genuinely valued, your growth is actively supported, your work has real impact, and there is a path to equity.

This boutique specialist firm is dedicated exclusively to wills and estates. It is becoming synonymous with elite market presence, technical expertise, warmth, and a up-to-date, tech‑forward approach to practice.

The work

A true mix of high‑quality, specialist matters, including:
Estate planning (including testamentary trusts, complex family structures, business owners and high‑net‑worth clients)
Estate administration - Probate, Letters of Administration and full end‑to‑end administration
Contested estates and family provision matters
Superannuation death benefit disputes and AFCA complaints
VCAT guardianship and administration matters

You’ll work closely with private clients, executors, beneficiaries and a strong network of professional referrers (accountants, financial planners, private banks, trustee companies).

The Role

No two days look the same; expect a blend of:
Client meetings
Drafting Wills, POAs, testamentary trusts, BDBNs and deeds
Running estate administrations end‑to‑end
Acting in contested matters (pleadings, mediations, appearances with counsel)




Collaborating with accountants, financial planners and family advisers
Working flexibly across their CBD and Bayside offices

The team

A close‑knit, specialist group of five, headed by the Managing Principal (Accredited Specialist, former top tier) and supported by junior lawyers, two Senior Paralegals and a Law Clerk. This is a supportive, cooperative, low‑ego and genuinely lovely to work with team.

The Perks
Competitive salary, path to equity partnership
Bonus system, excellent resources, and support
Technology focused and contemporary, innovative approach
Hybrid and flexible to meet your needs
