Associate Family Lawyer

I'm currently partnering with a highly regarded and growing law firm to recruit an Associate to join their well established family law team.

This is a standout opportunity for a mid-level lawyer looking to build their career in high quality family law, working alongside experienced partners in a genuinely collaborative and supportive environment.

The Role
You’ll work closely with senior lawyers and partners across a broad mix of family law matters, including:

• Parenting and children’s matters
• Property settlements, including high value and complex asset pools
• Financial agreements and advisory work
• Exposure to more complex and strategic matters as your experience develops

You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your own files while receiving consistent guidance and mentorship, allowing you to build both confidence and technical capability.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High quality, complex work with sophisticated clients
• Strong mentorship from experienced partners invested in your development
• Real responsibility and direct client contact from an early stage
• Collaborative, non-competitive team culture where work is shared
• Clear progression pathways with ongoing feedback and support

Culture & Environment
This firm is known for its genuinely supportive and close knit culture.

• Collegiate team where people work together, not against each other
• Regular mentoring, training, and development opportunities
• Modern office environment with excellent facilities
• Strong focus on team connection, with regular social and networking events
• Flexible working arrangements available after onboarding

About You
We’re looking for an Associate who:

• Has experience in family law (ideally across both parenting and property matters)
• Is confident managing files with appropriate supervision
• Communicates well with clients and enjoys building relationships
• Thrives in a collaborative, team oriented environment
• Is motivated to develop their skills and build a long term career in family law

This is an excellent opportunity to join a high performing team where you’ll be supported, challenged, and given real opportunities to grow.

Not quite the right role? Let’s talk anyway. I have a range of opportunities that could be the perfect fit for you, and I'd love to hear from you!
