- Clear promotion criteria, regular feedback and a defined pathway to progression.

- Dedicated support handles admin so you can focus on clients and legal work.

- Manage your own files while learning from experienced lawyers and Accredited Specialists.

Most family law firms will promise you interesting work, career development and opportunities for progression.

This firm has built a business model designed to deliver all three.

Heavily invested in digital marketing they have created a consistent pipeline of quality family law matters.

This means less time waiting for work to arrive, less pressure to generate your own clients and more time doing what actually develops your career: practising law.

For a Family Lawyer with 2–5 years' PAE, that's a significant advantage.

Your progression isn't a mystery.

You'll know exactly what's required to reach the next level. Transparent promotion criteria, regular feedback and structured development will give you a clear pathway to Senior Associate and beyond, with support to get there as quickly as your performance allows.

Focus on practising law.

A dedicated client care and support team takes care of much of the administrative workload, allowing you to spend more time advising clients, managing matters and developing your technical expertise.

Autonomy without isolation.

You'll manage your own caseload and build trusted client relationships while working alongside experienced family lawyers and Accredited Specialists who are invested in developing their colleagues.

Work that keeps you moving forward.

With a consistent flow of new matters, you won't be dependent on the unpredictable workload fluctuations that can slow development at other firms.



You'll gain regular exposure to parenting and property matters, including complex and rewarding work that will stretch your capabilities.

A business with ambition.

The firm is growing and for someone who wants to develop their career in a progressive environment, there's a genuine opportunity to grow alongside the firm.

About You

You'll ideally have:

- Robust technical ability across parenting and property matters.

- Excellent communication and client relationship skills.

- The confidence to manage your own files and take responsibility for your work.

- A genuine interest in developing your expertise and progressing your career.

- A collaborative approach and a desire to be part of a growing team.

If you've been thinking...

"I'm learning, but I feel like I could be progressing faster."

"I want more responsibility and the opportunity to manage my own matters."

"I'm ambitious, but I don't have a clear picture of what I need to do to get promoted."

"I want to spend more time practising law and less time chasing work or doing administration."

This could be exactly the move you've been waiting for.

Build your experience, accelerate your development and take control of where your career goes next.

The role also offers two days working from home each week.

With over 20 years experience recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.
