Be the founding Family Law leader in a growing, full-service Sydney office

Enjoy real autonomy and shape a team in your image, with national support

Lucrative bonus structure and equity after 2 years – no politics, just results

This isn’t another lateral shuffle down the legal hallway. This is a genuine launchpad – the chance to be the founding leader of a Family Law team in a growing Sydney office, backed by a high-performing, well-resourced national firm that actually knows how to back a good operator.

They’ve nailed it interstate with 15 family lawyers already kicking goals. Sydney’s got the commercial backbone – property, insurance, insolvency, corporate. What they don’t have is a leader. Not someone to warm a chair. Someone who can build a practice in their image. Autonomy, profile, potential – on your terms.

What’s in it for you?

Partner-level model without partner-level politics. Good salary, serious bonus structure at the Partner level, and equity after two years.

Lower threshold to partnership. So if your current firm’s waiting for a miracle, they’re not.

National infrastructure, boutique mindset. Big-firm resources without big-firm red tape.

Interstate support. Capacity for you to pass on work to interstate teams while you build your team so that you can navigate the peaks and troughs in workload.

Real leadership. You’ll shape the team. Set the tone. Be the reason people join.

But here’s what really matters: they’re looking for someone with the character to lead. Someone people want to follow. Cultural fit and ambition matter more than a million-dollar file load and no soul.

If you’re keen to stop being a passenger and take the wheel yourself, this may be the opportunity.
