Dedicated support around you

• You'll have admin, billing, and new business enquiry teams behind you, so you can focus on your clients and the rewarding parts of family law.

• You'll be comfortable leading your own caseload of finance, children and property cases with support from the team
• You're ambitious, you want to progress your career, and you want to develop
• You understand the need for empathy and sensitivity for clients going through an incredibly difficult period
• You're located in a commutable distance to our Sydney office, 3 days per week.
