- Rewarding Clientele: We work with amazing clients who make every case meaningful and fulfilling.
- Supportive Leadership and Team: Led by a compassionate principal and backed by excellent administrative support, you’ll have everything you need to succeed in your role.
- Competitive Pay: We offer a competitive salary depending on your experience and expertise.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Advising and representing clients in complex family law cases with professionalism and care.
- Engaging in negotiations, mediations, and court appearances.
- Providing mentorship and leadership within the team.
- Building strong client relationships, balancing professionalism with empathy.
- Drafting high-quality legal documents, including affidavits, parenting plans, and financial agreements.
- Strategically managing cases from inception to resolution.
- Collaborating with barristers and external professionals to achieve the best outcomes for clients.
- Staying up to date with legislative changes and case law developments.
- Conducting initial consultations and providing clear, practical advice to clients.
- Contributing to business development initiatives, networking, and firm growth.
What We’re Looking For:
- A minimum of 3 years’ experience in family law.
- Post-graduate qualifications in family law or accredited specialist in family law are highly regarded.
- A strong ethical compass and a genuine commitment to helping families.
- Exceptional communication, drafting, and negotiation skills, even in challenging matters.
- The ability to manage high-conflict situations with calm and compassion.
- A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a passion for leadership and mentorship.
- Someone that doesn't take life too seriously and has a good sense of humour!
