Large team and most of the lawyers are Accredited Specialists.

First-rate support with a dedicated legal assistant for every two lawyers.

The culture is close-knit and collegiate; this is a team that works together.

Based in the Melbourne CBD, this is a firm where deep legal expertise meets modern ways of working. This is a large team and most of the lawyers working here are Accredited Specialists. It is a practice built on collaboration, rigour, and respect. Their lawyers are known not just for their technical excellence, but for the way they support each other and their clients through complex, emotionally charged disputes with intelligence, care, and a steady hand.

Right now, the team is looking for a Senior Associate in Family Law – a senior practitioner with at least five years’ post-admission experience, and ideally more. You may already be an Accredited Specialist, or perhaps you're on that path.

You’ll be trusted to run a full practice, with the scope to shape your mix of parenting and property matters in line with your strengths and interests. The firm understands that complex family law disputes require not only legal expertise but also human sensitivity. Whether the asset pool is modest or significant, every client deserves thoughtful, strategic advice.

The working model is as modern as the firm itself. With a balanced hybrid approach, you’ll be in the office three days a week (Tuesday and Wednesday, plus a third day of your choosing), and can work remotely the other two. Part-time arrangements (minimum three days) are genuinely on the table for the right person.

This is also a place where support staff ratios actually support – for every two lawyers there is a dedicated legal assistant in a fully paperless, technologically progressive environment. The culture is close-knit and collegiate; this is a team that works together, not just alongside each other. They hire people who are not only brilliant lawyers, but also good people.

For a senior family lawyer looking to move into a high-trust, high-performing environment – without sacrificing flexibility, autonomy, or team spirit – this is an outstanding opportunity. The salary is competitive, the work meaningful, and the colleagues first-rate.

If you believe in the kind of law firm that reflects the values we need more of in professional life – respect, innovation, and collaboration – then this may be the firm for you.
