Senior Associate (Family Lawyer) – Close-Knit, No-Nonsense Northern Suburbs Firm

Genuine succession path in a close-knit, down-to-earth team

Supportive workplace culture with weekly catchups and open-door mentoring

BD support included – mentoring, content ideas, warm intros, real guidance.

If you want a corner office with a view of the city skyline and a 17-tier reporting structure... this isn’t it.

But if you’re the kind of lawyer who wants interesting clients, complex work, and a real shot at succession then this might be for you.

This is a close-knit practice in Melbourne’s north, run by smart people who back their team and value valuable character as much as clever brains. They’ve got 3 Principals and a growing client base walking through the door every day for family law, wills & estates, and conveyancing.

They’re looking for a Family Lawyer with at least 5 years' PAE. Someone who likes solving problems, not creating drama. Someone who doesn’t need handholding but knows the value of a strong, collaborative team.

You’ll work across a broad mix of property and parenting matters. Want to build your BD muscle? Even better.



You won’t be left to figure it out on your own – you’ll be actively supported with guidance, mentoring, and practical opportunities. Think coffee catchups, co-hosted webinars, LinkedIn content that actually lands, all backed by a team that knows how to open doors and build profile.

They value a steady attitude, a learning mindset, and a bit of initiative. Accredited Specialisation on your radar? Even better. They’ll back you with support from accredited partners.

This is one of those rare roles where you can grow, be mentored, and actually enjoy turning up to work each day.

Interested? Let’s talk. With over 20 years recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.

The market is small, and confidentiality is key. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have or to discuss the options available in the market.
