Estates Lawyer – Full-Time | Victoria-Based

You’ve built a career grounded in trust, expertise, and results. Now it’s time to shape a role that offers the flexibility you deserve — and the opportunity to work with a team that’s as forward-thinking as you are.

Stratus Legal Group is offering a full-time opportunity for an experienced Estates Lawyer ready to embrace a new chapter. With our headquarters in Portland, a serviced office in Melbourne, and team members spanning from Mt Gambier to Clyde — we’re a truly regional-to-metro practice.

We’re looking for someone who shares our values:

You believe in collaboration — with your team, your clients, and the wider community.

You embrace change and innovation — especially when it enhances client outcomes, like the powerful benefits of testamentary trusts.

You’re passionate about estate law — from navigating the complexities of probate and Letters of Administration to supporting clients through contested estate matters.

You’re excited by community and connection — perhaps even drawn to groups like The Art of Estate Planning, where knowledge-sharing and best practice are front and centre.

And if you’re keen to work alongside our ever-growing Contested Estates team to support those who need it most — even better.

Did we mention? We even have a team member working abroad — because flexibility isn’t just a buzzword here, it’s how we operate.

What’s on offer:

Full-time position with flexible working arrangements

Offices in Portland and Melbourne

Collaborative team across Victoria and South Australia

A leadership role with mentoring opportunities

A chance to shape your role and future with us

Tech-forward practice that embraces tools like AI
