Senior Associate – Family Law
- Run the well-established family law practice of a commercial firm.
- They attract complex matters that will have you navigating complex structures.
- Have worked on one of the largest divorce matters in Australian history.
This is a medium-sized commercial firm looking for a Senior Associate Family Lawyer to step into a rare role: the only dedicated family lawyer in a firm already operating at the top end of town.
You won’t be fighting over who gets the couch. You’ll be navigating multi-entity structures, cross-border assets, and high-stakes negotiations backed by a team of sharp corporate lawyers who actually understand how wealth is built (and how it’s unwound).
They’ve worked on one of the largest divorce matters in Australian history. Not talked about. Not advertised. Just resolved.
Here’s what makes this different:
- You’ll step into an established role with genuine scope to grow and shape the firm’s family law offering.
- You’ll work directly with a senior leader in the business—commercial, steady, no ego.
- You’ll be supported by corporate specialists when things get complicated (which they will).
- You’ll have access to a broader private client advisory arm that understands wealth beyond the courtroom.
What they need:
You’re a Senior Associate (5+ PAE) in family law who’s comfortable with complex asset pools, not intimidated by corporate structures, and ready to step into something with more ownership than hierarchy.
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.
