Right now, they’re doubling down on Family Law – and they’re looking for a Senior Associate who wants more than just a comfortable chair. They want someone who’ll help shape the next chapter.

You’re stepping into a practice with space to grow and a leadership team backing you all the way.

Clear promotion pathway.
