The Firm
An international legal group expanding into Australia is seeking a senior WA-qualified solicitor with extensive compliance, governance, and regulatory experience. This part-time role provides the opportunity to play a leadership role in shaping a new practice, ensuring it operates with strong governance and regulatory integrity.
This position is ideal for experienced practitioners seeking flexible, part-time work, including those looking to maintain professional engagement without full-time hours.
The RoleThe Senior Solicitor will be a key driver in establishing robust compliance and governance frameworks for the Australian practice. The role is primarily remote, with occasional office attendance in Western Australia, starting at one day per week with the option to increase to two or three days.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading compliance with the Legal Practice Board of WA, including trust accounting, practising certificate obligations, CPD, and professional conduct
* Advising on operational, regulatory, and governance matters to support the Australian practice
* Drafting, reviewing, and maintaining internal policies, procedures, and risk management frameworks
* Developing and implementing governance structures to support growth and operational integrity
* Collaborating with UK-based directors and teams, requiring flexibility to accommodate time zone differences
* Providing guidance or oversight on personal injury matters where relevant
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will be a WA-qualified solicitor holding a current practising certificate, with strong post-admission experience in compliance, governance, and regulatory frameworks. You should be confident working independently, exercising professional judgment at a senior level, and skilled in drafting, policy development, and operational risk management.
Experience collaborating with internationally based teams is essential, and while personal injury law experience is advantageous, it is not required. This role suits those seeking a part-time, flexible position where they can take on senior responsibility and make a meaningful impact.
What's in it for you?
* Part-time work (1–3 days per week) with a remote-first arrangement
* Senior, trusted role with autonomy and influence
* Opportunity to establish and shape compliance and governance foundations for an Australian practice linked to a successful international group
