Partner – Family Law
Family Law, LAW
Sydney, NSW
260 — 320
- Founding Partner role to lead Family Law in a growing CBD office
- Shape your own team and culture, backed by national firm resources
- Competitive salary, bonus structure, and equity after two years
A high-performing national firm already home to a dozen successful family lawyer’s interstate is now looking to establish its Sydney presence in Family Law. The city’s office has real depth in commercial work: property, insurance, insolvency and corporate. The missing piece is family law, and the firm is seeking a leader to fill it.
This role is not about slotting into an existing hierarchy. It is about founding something. Building a team in your own image, with the strength of national resources behind you. The culture you set will be the culture that endures.
What makes this opportunity distinctive is the clarity of its offering:
- Equity after two years, with a lucrative bonus structure along the way.
- A practical, achievable threshold for partnership – where ability counts for more than politics.
- The support of a national platform – allowing work to be shared across states while you grow your local practice.
- The freedom of leadership – setting the tone, the strategy, and the reputation of the team you build.
It comes down to this: the firm does not simply want a lawyer. It wants a leader. Someone whose ambition is matched by judgment, whose skill is matched by character.
If your career has reached the point where you are ready to lead rather than follow, this role offers the foundation and the freedom to do it.
