Brisbane | Established Family Law Practice | Career Progression | Flexibility

Love family law, but ready for a firm that feels like the right long-term fit?

We’re working with a highly regarded Brisbane law firm looking to add another talented Family Lawyer / Associate to its growing team.

Ideally, you'll bring around 3–5+ years PAE, however we're very open to speaking with more experienced lawyers too. What matters most is finding someone who enjoys family law, cares about their clients and wants to be part of a genuinely supportive and down-to-earth team.

The Role

You'll step into a well-known practice with offices around Australia with a strong flow of quality family law matters and the opportunity to manage files with autonomy, while having experienced senior lawyers around you when you need them.

Your matters will include:

• Divorce and separation
• Parenting matters
• Property settlements
• Complex financial matters
• Binding financial agreements
• General family law disputes and negotiations

You’ll have plenty of client contact and the opportunity to continue building your technical skills, confidence and profile within family law.

What Makes This One Different?

This is a firm that wants its lawyers to stay, grow and build their careers with them. Be a self-starter but have support

You’ll enjoy:

• A friendly, collaborative team with approachable senior lawyers
• Genuine mentoring without being micromanaged
• Quality family law matters and an established client base
• Autonomy to manage your own files
• Clear opportunities for career progression
• Flexibility and a genuine respect for life outside of work
• A positive environment without unnecessary egos or office politics
• A growing practice where your contribution will actually be noticed

About You

We're looking for someone who brings:

• 3+ years PAE in family law
• Strong client-facing and communication skills
• Confidence managing family law matters
• A practical, empathetic and solutions-focused approach
• The ability to work autonomously while enjoying being part of a team
• A genuine desire to continue building a long-term career in family law

More senior than 5 years PAE? We'd still love to hear from you.

If you've been quietly wondering what else might be available in Brisbane, this could be the perfect opportunity to have a confidential conversation and see whether there's a better fit out there.

The Environment

This is the kind of firm where people stay — because they’re supported, mentored, receive career progression and feel part of something meaningful.
