Head of Wealth – Senior Wealth and Estates Lawyer If you are a senior private‑client/ wealth lawyer who wants more than another technical estates role, this is a genuine chance to take ownership of a burgeoning wealth practice and shape where it goes next.

This multidisciplinary commercial firm has a unique advantage - it gives you direct access to advisers, accountants, business owners, family offices and high‑net‑worth clients. It's a platform most firms simply don't have.

This role is about leadership, strategy and growth, rather than just running files. You will work closely with the Managing Partner, COO and other practice leaders to build a more sophisticated private‑wealth offering across complex estate planning, intergenerational wealth transfer, asset protection, succession planning, trusts, superannuation and strategic structuring.

You will set the direction, build capability, mentor a team, deepen referral relationships, and grow a practice that genuinely has room to scale. The remuneration structure will reflect both your leadership contribution and your legal work. There's also a potential pathway to equity for the right person.





The Work Practicing at a senior level, you will advise on:

Complex estate planning and testamentary structures

Trust establishment, restructuring and asset protection

Probate and complex estate administration

Business succession and intergenerational wealth transfer

Superannuation death benefit planning

Wealth strategies for HNW individuals, business owners and blended families

Integrated advisory with financial planners, accountants and other specialists

This Role Is Tailor Made For You might be a Partner, SC or senior SA who is ready to lead a practice rather than inherit someone else’s. You're commercially minded, relationship‑driven and comfortable working across private wealth, estates, trusts or broader private‑client advisory. You enjoy mentoring, building capability and shaping a team. You want to grow something meaningful.

If you're ambitious, team-oriented and ready to build something exceptional in the wealth space - with real support and commercial upside - this is a standout opportunity.
