Full time
Not specified
Work at a highly respected family law firm with a reputation that elevates you
Complex, high-stakes matters that build deep litigation skill and judgment
Genuine autonomy to run files end-to-end with regular court exposure
Build a Career That Stands the Test of Time
Some roles offer activity. Others offer progress.
This opportunity sits firmly in the latter category.
This firm is widely regarded as one of Australia’s leading family law practices, because of the consistency and quality of its work over many years. It is trusted with complex, high-stakes matters where judgment matters as much as technical skill.
What sets this role apart:
Reputation that strengthens yours – The matters you handle and the name on your CV will carry weight throughout your career.
Work that develops real judgment – High-value property disputes and complex parenting matters that demand careful thinking, not routine process.
Genuine autonomy – You will run files end-to-end, appear in court regularly, and be trusted to make decisions.
A strong, collegiate team – You will work alongside capable lawyers who set a high standard and support one another.
Clear path forward – The firm has a long-standing track record of promoting from within, based on ability and contribution rather than client following.
The firm is seeking a Senior Associate (5+ years PAE) with solid family law experience, strong litigation capability, and the confidence to manage highly complex financial matters with a high degree of independence.
This is not a role for someone looking for an easier path. It is for a lawyer who values steady development, meaningful responsibility, and the chance to build a body of work they can be proud of.
Over time, environments like this shape not just your skillset, but your professional standing.
Interested? With over 20 years recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.
