Family Lawyer | Gold Coast | 3+ Years' PAE

n

Run your own files. Keep your weekends. Work five minutes from the water.

n

You did not spend three years building a family law practice to sit in someone else's shadow. An established Gold Coast firm - grown on reputation and referrals rather than billboards - is looking for a family lawyer with 3+ years' post-admission experience to take genuine carriage of their own matters, with Accredited Specialists beside them when the files get hard.

n

Why you will want this one

n

n
- $120,000 - $145,000 + super depending on experience, reviewed annually and rewarded on performance
n
- Full carriage of your own file load, with senior support on the complex matters rather than over your shoulder
n
- Mentoring from Accredited Specialists in Family Law, plus firm-funded support towards your own Specialist Accreditation
n
- Realistic billing targets and a team that respects your life outside the office
n
- A transparent promotion pathway - they would rather promote you than replace you
n
- Full paralegal and admin support, so your time goes into lawyering
n
- Modern Gold Coast office minutes from the water, with parking and public transport at the door
n

n





What you will be doing

n

n
- Running your own file load across property settlements, parenting matters, de facto disputes and divorce
n
- Advising on consent orders, financial disclosure and binding financial agreements
n
- Drafting affidavits, applications and correspondence that stand up in court
n
- Appearing at mediations, settlement conferences and directions hearings, with Counsel briefed on the bigger matters
n
- Building the client relationships and referral networks that become repeat work
n

n

What you will bring

n

n
- Admission to practise in Queensland with a current practising certificate
n
- 3+ years' post-admission experience with a genuine family law focus
n
- Confidence running matters under the Family Law Act with limited supervision
n
- Sharp drafting, sound judgement and clear, human communication
n
- Empathy and resilience, because family law clients are people first
n

n

Interested, or just curious?

n

Every conversation is treated in strict confidence - even if you are only quietly wondering what else is out there.
