You will work across a broad range of family law matters including:

• Running files with appropriate supervision and support as needed
The role is designed to be as autonomous as possible, while still offering guidance and collaboration on more complex matters from highly experienced senior practitioners.

• The ability to confidently manage your own matters
• Strong client relationship and communication skills

• Mentorship from highly experienced family law practitioners
• Realistic billable expectations (approx. 5 hours/day)
• CBD location close to public transport
• Birthday celebrations and team lunches
• Genuine progression opportunities for the right person
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking quality work, autonomy and a positive team culture without the rigid environment often found in larger firms.
Apply now or reach out to Lauren Benstead on (03) 9077 7491 or via email lauren.benstead@engagepersonnel.com.au for a confidential chat.
