Family Lawyer | Genuine Partnership Opportunity

Family Law, LAW

Geelong, VIC

105 — 180

  • Structure provides a pathway to greater responsibility and equity partnership.
  • Work alongside two supportive Family Law Partners in a close-knit team
  • Modern offices and flexible hybrid working with two days from home.

What if your next Family Law role wasn’t simply another job, but an opportunity to build a long-term career with a leading regional practice?

I’m currently recruiting for an established and highly regarded law firm in Geelong that is looking for a Family Lawyer with 2–7 years’ experience to join its growing Family Law team.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants autonomy, flexibility and the chance to become an important part of a successful practice.

Why this opportunity is different

There is a genuine pathway towards partnership.

The firm’s current structure provides an opportunity for the right person to progressively take on greater responsibility and, ultimately, work towards equity partnership.

For a Family Lawyer who wants to build something rather than simply move from one role to another, that’s a significant opportunity.

You’ll also have:

  • Autonomy to run your own files
  • An approximately 50/50 mix of property and parenting matters
  • Direct access to two experienced Family Law Partners
  • A supportive and collaborative team environment
  • 2 days working from home each week
  • Modern offices in Geelong
  • A genuinely friendly workplace where people enjoy working together
  • The opportunity to develop a long-term career with one of Geelong’s leading Family Law practices

About you

You’ll have 2–7 years’ experience in Family Law and be comfortable managing your own matters.

You don’t need to have your career mapped out to partnership today.

What’s more important is that you’re:

  • Technically capable and commercially minded
  • Comfortable managing files with a high degree of autonomy
  • Strong in both written and verbal communication
  • Confident dealing directly with clients
  • Interested in developing your career within Family Law
  • Collaborative and approachable
  • Someone who values being part of a genuinely supportive team

The opportunity

This is a role where your long-term potential matters.

One of the firm’s senior lawyers intends to remain at their current level rather than pursue equity, creating a genuine opportunity for the right person to eventually progress towards partnership.

If you’re already working in Family Law in Geelong, or you’re a Melbourne-based Family Lawyer who has considered making the move to Geelong, this is worth a confidential conversation.

Interested? Let’s talk. 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.
