Family Lawyer - Fraser Coast/Sunshine Coast

Are you living in the Fraser Coast or the surrounding areas and looking for a change? Are you looking for a sea change/relocation to the Fraser Coast? Or are you looking for a hybrid work from home arrangement with some travel to the Fraser Coast on occasion?

If one of those sounds like you, then you might want to consider joining one of Queensland's leading Family Law teams and build a rewarding career in a community where your work genuinely matters.

With our continued growth within the Fraser Coast, Stone Group Lawyers is seeking an experienced Family Lawyer or Associate Family Lawyer to join our growing Hervey Bay office. Lead by our Senior Associate, the Hervey Bay office takes on family law, domestic violence clients from across the Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, Sunshine Coast and other regional areas of Queensland.

This is an opportunity for a lawyer who enjoys practising family law at a high level typically found in metropolitan areas to continue doing so, while also becoming part of a close-knit regional community. We are looking for someone who values relationships, client service, community and practical outcomes, but who also understands the importance of productivity, commercial awareness and delivering strong results.

About the Role

You will work across a broad range of family law matters, including:

Property settlements

Domestic and family violence matters

Divorce and separation matters

Mediation and dispute resolution

Court appearances

Child Protection matters

You will have the autonomy to manage your own files while being supported by an experienced team of lawyers, paralegals and administrative staff. Travel throughout the Fraser Coast, Wide Bay and beyond may be required, so having a drivers licence and your own transportation is a requirement.

We are open to discussing remote working opportunities for the right candidate.

Has post admission experience in Family Law (preferably at least 1+ PAE)





Can confidently manage a family law file from commencement through to resolution

Demonstrates excellent client relationship skills

Is commercially minded and understands the importance of billable performance

Takes pride in delivering exceptional client service

Has strong drafting, negotiation and advocacy skills

Enjoys working as part of a collaborative team

Wants to become an active member of the local Hervey Bay community, including engaging in regular initiatives to support the community
