The Firm & Opportunity

An exciting growth opportunity has come up for a 3+ years PQE level lawyer to strengthen our client's family law and RP practice. The firm has an established client base that provides a steady flow of files to work on a range of matters. The partners encourage a culture that is welcoming, approachable, supportive and flexible, allowing you to develop your skills and progress internally at the firm.
  
This role works across the full gamut of family law and RP work which includes helping individuals protect their assets in a relationship, navigating through complex separations and dealing with childcare and custody arrangements, protection orders, adoptions, surrogacies, as well as drafting separation agreements and contracting out agreements.
  
In this role, you will also have all the support you need to develop your legal skills in the family law and private client area. There is a good balance of being able to work autonomously on files, mentorship and being given opportunities to go to Court, as they arise. There is room to grow in this role into a more senior position.
