Family Lawyer – Build Depth Fast in a Leading Boutique Practice

Family Law, LAW

Sydney, NSW

120 — 150

Seeking 3–5 years PAE. Hands-on exposure to complex property and parenting matters from day one.

  • Doyle’s-listed family law boutique with a long-standing reputation in Sydney CBD.
  • Work directly with Partners and help shape strategy early in your career.
  • Clear growth pathway through the Senior ranks and into Partnership.

This boutique specialist has been practising family law at the highest level in Sydney for decades, and if you work in this space, you already know who they are and the quality of work they do. Doyle’s listed and highly regarded, the firm has built its reputation on handling complex, high-stakes matters with care, confidence and technical strength.

This role is aimed squarely at a Family Lawyer with 3-5 years’ PAE who wants deeper exposure and faster development than most larger firms can offer. You will work across all aspects of family law, including property and parenting matters, with files ranging from straightforward to genuinely complex. Importantly, you can expect regular involvement in sizeable property and asset matters, not years down the track, but now – with responsibility that reflects your experience and the chance to sharpen your judgment.

One of the real advantages here is access. As a smaller, high-quality practice, lawyers work directly with the Partners. You see how decisions are made, how strategy is shaped, and how difficult conversations with clients are handled. It’s the kind of exposure that often comes much later in larger firms, but which accelerates both confidence and capability at this stage of your career.

This is an environment suited to someone who is confident without ego, technically solid, and genuinely cares about the people behind the files. For the right lawyer, they offer not just a role, but a clear pathway of growth from junior solicitor, through to senior roles over time. All of this within a firm that is respected, stable, and serious about developing its people.

Interested? With over 20 years recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.

The market is small and confidentiality is key. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have or to discuss the options available in the market.
