Family Lawyers | 2 + PAE up to Special Counsel (Sunshine Coast, Qld)

Family Lawyers | 2 years PAE + through to Special Counsel | The Sunshine Coast is ready to welcome you!

If a move to warmer weather and a better lifestyle is on your radar, this Sunshine Coast opportunity is well worth exploring. Open to roles in Queensland further north as well? We have roles like this from the Gold Coast up to Cairns!

We’re working with a well‑established Sunshine Coast family law practice that has built a strong reputation for looking after its people as well as its clients.

This is a team that gives lawyers real ownership of their files, direct client relationships and the freedom to manage matters properly, without unnecessary layers or micromanagement.

You’ll have experienced senior lawyers around you when you need another view on something complex, but you won’t be second‑guessed at every turn.

The Work

You’ll manage a broad family law caseload across matters such as:

- parenting and child‑related disputes;

- property settlements;

- divorce and separation;

- domestic and family violence matters;

- financial agreements;

- negotiation and settlement work; and

- court proceedings where required.

The practice has a strong client base, and face‑to‑face service remains an important part of how the team works.





You’ll be trusted to run your files autonomously, keep clients well informed and exercise sound judgement around strategy, negotiation and resolution.

Who This Role Will Suit

You may be a lawyer with around 2+ years’ PAE who is ready for more ownership, or a much more experienced family lawyer looking for a stable team, quality work and a less rigid environment. What matters most is that you are a positive operator. You’ll need solid family law experience, sound judgement, strong client skills and the confidence to manage your own caseload. You’ll also need to be someone who values being part of a team. This is a close‑knit practice and fit matters.

What You Can Expect

- autonomy over your own matters;

- access to experienced senior lawyers when needed;

- up to two days working from home;

- your own private office;

- dedicated car parking;

- a supportive, down‑to‑earth team;

- strong client contact; and

- a firm that has a genuine track record of looking after its people.

For a family lawyer considering a move to the Sunshine Coast, this is a rare opportunity to combine high‑quality work and genuine autonomy with an enviable coastal lifestyle.
