At FGD, we’re not your typical law firm. We are a bold, progressive team who work hard, care deeply, and actually love what we do. We champion innovation, put people first (our clients, community, and each other), and pride ourselves on being paperless, flexible, and ahead of the curve. We only hire the best, and then give them the opportunities, career growth, and remuneration they deserve.
We're now looking for experienced Family Lawyers (4+ years PQE) to join our Melbourne and Sydney teams.
This opportunity would be perfect for someone who is confident running their own matters, enjoys building strong client relationships, and wants to take real ownership of their career. Perhaps you've already built a successful practice and are looking for a firm that will help you take it further. Or perhaps you're an ambitious lawyer who is ready to develop your own client base, take on greater responsibility and explore a genuine pathway to partnership. Either way, we'd love to meet you.
You'll be someone who:
- Has at least 4 years' experience practising Family Law, with a proven ability to independently manage matters from beginning to end.
- Is confident advising clients, making decisions and taking responsibility for their own files.
- Has an established practice or the drive and commercial mindset to build one.
- Enjoys developing relationships, generating opportunities, and contributing to the growth of a successful firm.
- Thrives in a challenging, varied, and fast-paced environment.
- Is curious, forward-thinking, and excited about using smart technology to deliver better outcomes.
- Values teamwork but has the confidence and experience to work autonomously.
- Has ambitions to progress professionally, potentially all the way to partnership.
Why FGD?
- Genuine career progression: We're a growing firm where ambition is encouraged, and a pathway to partnership is a real possibility.
- Freedom and autonomy: Take ownership of your matters, build your practice, and make your mark.
- Generous remuneration: We recognise and reward talented lawyers who make a meaningful contribution.
- True flexibility: We focus on performance and outcomes, not simply time spent at your desk.
- A progressive workplace: We're paperless, cutting-edge, and always looking for smarter ways to practise law.
- Great people: Join a team of highly respected lawyers who are passionate about their work, their clients, and the future of the firm.
