Job description

Family Lawyer – Want to Get Ahead Quickly?

Build Your Career Faster. Not Just Longer.

Some law firms promise career progression.

This firm has built a business model that makes it happen.

When work dries up, development slows. You spend your time waiting for the next matter instead of building the experience that gets you promoted.

They don't have that problem.

Their strengths in digital marketing have resulted in a consistent stream of quality family law matters, meaning you'll spend less time waiting for work, or being asked to win it yourself, and more time building the experience that accelerates your career.

For an experienced Lawyer, that creates opportunities most firms simply can't offer.

Your progression isn't a mystery.

You'll know exactly what's required to reach the next level. Promotion criteria are transparent, regular check-ins keep you on track, and you'll be supported to achieve your goals as quickly as your performance allows.

Focus on legal work.

A dedicated team provides administrative support, allowing you to spend more time advising clients and less time buried in paperwork.

Autonomy without isolation.

You'll manage your own caseload while working alongside Accredited Specialists and highly regarded family lawyers who are invested in helping each other succeed.

The Role

We're looking for a Family Lawyer with 2-5 years' PAE.

You'll work across a varied family law practice, build trusted client relationships and play an important role in the continued growth of the Sydney office. If you see a future in management or have strong business development skills, there is plenty of opportunity to make an even greater impact.

About You

You'll ideally have:

Strong technical ability across parenting and property matters.

Excellent client relationship skills.

The confidence to run your own files.

A collaborative mindset and genuine interest in helping build a high-performing team.

If you've been thinking...

"I'm learning, but my career has plateaued."

"I'm ready for more responsibility but don't know what I need to do to get promoted."

"I want to spend more time practising law and less time doing admin."

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