Our client is a highly regarded commercial law firm with a strong market presence, quality clients and an excellent leadership group.

The firm offers senior lawyers a well-resourced platform, strong internal referral opportunities and the autonomy to build their practice within a collaborative and commercially minded environment.

The Opportunity

An excellent opportunity exists for an experienced Family Law Partner - or a senior family lawyer ready to step into partnership - to join the firm and further develop its well established family law offering.

This is not a "bring a huge book or don't apply" opportunity.

The firm is looking for someone with an established reputation and some portable work, client following or proven referrer network - a modest practice may be sufficient for the right candidate. What matters most is that you are capable of building from a strong platform and want to play a meaningful role in the future growth of the practice.

You'll have access to the firm's broader client base and referral networks while retaining significant autonomy over your own practice.

The Work

The practice will involve a broad range of sophisticated family law matters, including:

- Complex property settlements
- Acting for high-net-worth and business-owner clients




- Divorce and separation
- Spousal maintenance and child support
- Domestic violence
- Mediation and alternative dispute resolution
- Complex family law negotiations and litigation

- Lawyers with an established reputation and some degree of portable practice / referrer network

- Collaborative lawyers who want to contribute to the broader firm rather than operate in a silo

- A strong platform from which to grow your practice
- Modest portable practice may be sufficient - no requirement for an enormous book
- Access to internal referrals and an established client base
- High-quality firm infrastructure and support
