Family Lawyer | 1-3 years PQE Full-time Job

The Firm & Opportunity

An exciting growth opportunity has come up for a 1-3 year PQE level lawyer to strengthen our client's family law practice based in their modern North Shore office. The firm has an established client base that provides a steady flow of files to work on a range of matters. The partners encourage a culture that is welcoming, approachable, supportive, and flexible, allowing you to develop your skills and progress internally at the firm.

This role works across the full gamut of family law work which includes helping individuals protect their assets in a relationship as well as navigating through complex separations and dealing with childcare and custody arrangements. In this role, you will also have all the support you need to develop your legal skills in the family law and private client area. There is a good balance of being able to work autonomously on files, mentorship, and being given opportunities to go to Court, as they arise.

• Strong interpersonal skills
• An interest to develop your skills further in the family law field
