We’re Not Your Typical Family Law Firm - and That’s Exactly the Point!
If you’re a family lawyer with at least 5+ years’ experience to Senior Associate level, tired of traditional firms that talk about “work-life balance” and "supportive team environment" but never deliver it, this might be the career move you’ve been waiting for.
At Barker Evans Lawyers, we’ve built something different. We’re a Doyle's rated, award-winning, media-recognised boutique practice leading the next generation of family law in Australia, and we’re growing. We are also a really fun place to work!
Our sleekly designed office is located in Civic Tower, directly opposite the Federal Circuit and Family Court.
What Makes Us Different ?
- We get the results with purpose. Our firm is a Doyle's rated family law firm and our Managing Director, Nicole Evans, has been recognised as a Doyle's rated family lawyer and recognised across national legal awards for leadership, innovation, and excellence in family law.
- We actually support each other. Collaboration isn’t a buzzword here, it’s how we get results and protect each other’s sanity.
- We grow fast, and we grow together. You’ll work directly with Nicole Evans and barristers on complex, high-impact and precedent setting cases while building your own profile and career path.
- We’re future-focused. From tech integration to AI-driven innovation, we’re modernising family law practice while keeping humanity at the centre of it.
- We value personality.
We’re a team of professionals who take our work seriously, but not ourselves.
