Senior Associate - Family Law | Melbourne
 
Join a nationally recognised specialist firm at an exciting chapter of growth
 
 
The Opportunity
 
This is a rare chance to step into a high-impact role at a firm that genuinely invests in its people. A nationally recognised, specialist family law firm regarded as one of Australia's leaders in the field. They have recently expanded into Melbourne and are building their presence in the Victorian market.

The Melbourne office is gaining real momentum, and they're looking for a talented Senior Associate to be a central part of that story.
You'll work directly alongside the Partner leading the Melbourne practice, a hands-on role that offers genuine mentorship, real responsibility, and a clear pathway forward.
 
 
Why This Role Stands Out

• Specialists, not generalists. The entire firm is dedicated to family law. You'll be surrounded by some of the most highly regarded accredited specialist Family Lawyers in the country, the quality of work and collegiate environment reflects that.
• Above-market remuneration. For the right candidate, this firm pays well — and they mean it. They're looking for a long-term fit, and they compensate accordingly.
• Be part of something being built. The Melbourne office is new, growing fast, and establishing a strong reputation. You won't be a number in a large team, your contribution will be visible and meaningful.
• Culture matters here. This isn't just a talking point. The firm has a genuine commitment to its team culture, and the Melbourne office reflects that from day one.

 
About You
 
You're an experienced family law practitioner at Senior Associate level, ready to take the next step in your career. You bring:

• Solid family law experience across parenting, property, or both
• The ability to manage your own complex matters with confidence
• Strong client relationship skills and professional judgement
• An interest in being part of a growing, high-performance team, not just filling a seat

Accredited specialist status or progress toward it will be well regarded, but is not essential.
