Join Eliza Legal – Where Your Career and Happiness Matter

Eliza Legal, a progressive, female-led family law firm, is seeking a passionate and experienced Family Lawyer to join our close-knit, supportive team. We pride ourselves on integrity, empathy, and delivering practical, client-focused solutions. If you’re a seasoned family law professional who’s ready to make a difference while enjoying a genuinely fun and supportive workplace, we’d love to hear from you!

Why Choose Eliza Legal?

  • Work Where It Suits You: You’ll only be required to work from our Mount Eliza headquarters 1-2 days per week. The rest can be done from the comfort of your own home (if that is your preference!).
  • A Fun and Supportive Culture: We genuinely enjoy what we do and the team we work with. Collaboration, camaraderie, and plenty of laughter make Eliza Legal a workplace where you’ll thrive.
  • True Flexibility: Whether you need school hours, a hybrid work arrangement, or a part-time schedule, we’ll work with you to create a setup that works for your life. Our Principal Lawyer is a mum to two young children and truly understands that the juggle is real.
  • Work-Life Balance You’ll Love: We’re serious about maintaining balance – no late nights, no weekend work, and very manageable billing targets.
  • 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!
