About the position:

Our client is looking for a Family Lawyer (2– 5 PAE) to join their growing Sydney team. This is a hands-on role where you’ll gain exposure to a genuine mix of files (not just one narrow slice of family law), build strong client relationships, and develop confidence running matters end-to-end with guidance from senior practitioners.
You’ll work across a varied caseload that may include:

• Parenting matters (including interim applications, recovery orders, and risk issues)
• Property settlements (including company/trust structures and financial disclosure)
• Consent orders, subpoenas, and complex negotiations
• Mediations, conciliations, and dispute resolution conferences
• Drafting and advising on Binding Financial Agreements (where appropriate)
• Preparation for court events, briefs to Counsel, and instructing in hearings

If you’re the type of lawyer who wants to be well-trained, trusted with responsibility, and supported to step up — this one is built for you.

Requirements:

• 2–5 years’ PAE in Family Law
• experience handling litigation and complex files, or readiness to step into more sophisticated matters
• strong drafting, negotiation and courtroom capability
• polished and professional communication
• a proactive, organised approach to practice
• comfort working toward around 5 billable hours daily
