Doyle’s Guide listed family law firm.

Modern, paperless firm with 1 legal assistant for every 2 lawyers.

Leaders that are Accredited Family Law Specialists.

This firm believes that great lawyering starts with great leadership - and they’re seeking a Special Counsel to bring that to life. Located in the heart of the CBD, this is a 4-partner firm, all of whom are Accredited Family Law Specialists. They are known for their intellect, integrity, and unwavering commitment to both their clients and their people.

But they’re not standing still - and neither should you.

Why Join?

Work with a Doyle’s recommended firm

Be part of a tight-knit, values-driven team

Have autonomy, flexibility, and trust

Do challenging, meaningful work

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal role for a seasoned family lawyer (minimum 9 years PQE) who thrives in complexity and leads with both expertise and empathy. Whether you're an Accredited Specialist or an outstanding practitioner who has taken a different path, we’re open to your story. The right fit matters more than a checklist.

How They Work

Hybrid Model: Three days in-office (Tues/Wed + your choice of a third), two from home. Balance that respects your life while staying true to their collaborative culture.

Part-time Friendly: A 3+ day week works for them if it works for you.

Autonomy + Support: Shape your mix of parenting and property matters, with billing targets of just 5 hours/day.

Modern Tools: A paperless office, tech-forward systems, and a legal assistant for every two lawyers (they don’t waste time on inefficiency).

What They’re Looking For

You’ll bring a sharp legal mind, particularly around complex property work, and a collaborative spirit that uplifts the team. They want someone who contributes as much to their culture as they do cases. If you're a natural mentor, thrive in a high-performing team, and want the freedom to do your best work, you belong here.

Apply today. Because where you do your best work matters.

With over 20 years experience recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.

The market is small and confidentiality is key. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have or to discuss the options available in the market.
