Join a nationally respected brand with real career clout

Clear path to Partnership with top-tier mentorship and support

Support and encouragement to gain accredited specialisation.

The greatest asset any organisation can have is its people. And that’s precisely what sets this firm apart.

Why This Firm?

This is one of Australia’s largest and most respected national family law practices, supported by a market-leading Brisbane team and more than a dozen Accredited Specialists across the country. Their reputation has been built on technical excellence, client care, and a long-standing commitment to developing leaders in the field.

Here, the work is complex, meaningful, and deeply impactful. You’ll engage in significant and sophisticated family law matters - an experience that not only sharpens your expertise but will position you as a lawyer of strong standing.

Just as importantly, the firm’s collegiate and inclusive culture has seen it recognised by Australasian Lawyer as an Employer of Choice. It’s a workplace where you’re supported to thrive – professionally, personally, and as part of a team that shares your passion for helping families move forward.

What You’ll Gain:

Leadership & Growth: A clear, structured pathway to Partnership, backed by strong internal support and business development opportunities.

Brand Power: Being aligned with a name this respected adds weight to your reputation – attracting clients as you build your practice, and serving as a powerful endorsement of your calibre should you ever choose to explore new opportunities.

Mentorship at the Highest Level: Work directly with multiple Accredited Specialists who will help guide you to specialisation if not already achieved.

A Practice That Elevates You: From complex property matters to sensitive parenting disputes, the firm’s work will challenge and grow you as a practitioner.

Flexibility and Balance: Benefit from hybrid working arrangements and the option to purchase additional leave.

Who We’re Looking For:

A family lawyer with 5+ years’ PAE, ideally operating at the Senior Associate or Special Counsel level.

A trusted advisor with strong technical acumen and the confidence to guide clients through complex, high-stakes matters.

A team player and leader who uplifts colleagues, mentors junior lawyers, and contributes to a culture of excellence and care.

If you’re ready to do your best work alongside some of the country’s leading practitioners and to grow your career within a firm that genuinely invests in your success, we’d love to hear from you.

Interested? Let’s talk. With over 20 years 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.
