Overview
Optio6 Talent Partners has partnered with a highly regarded and growing law firm seeking a Family Lawyer to join their established team. We are open to speaking with lawyers across all experience levels, from early-career practitioners through to experienced family law specialists.
This is an opportunity to join a firm that genuinely values its people, fosters a collaborative culture, and provides the support, resources and flexibility needed to build a rewarding long-term career.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This firm has built a reputation for providing exceptional client service while maintaining a positive and sustainable working environment for its team.
You\'ll enjoy modern office facilities, strong administrative support, quality mentorship, and a culture where people genuinely enjoy coming into the office. The team is approachable, professional, and highly collaborative, creating an environment where lawyers can thrive both personally and professionally.
While this is primarily an office-based role, the firm understands that flexibility matters and is open to discussing arrangements with the right candidate.
With realistic billing expectations of approximately 5-6 billable hours per day, the focus is on delivering quality outcomes rather than excessive targets.

* Developing strong client relationships and providing practical, commercial advice
* Opportunity to gain exposure to additional practice areas for those interested in broadening their experience

* 1-10+ years PQE, although all levels of experience will be considered
* Family law experience, ideally gained within private practice
* Confidence managing files and client relationships independently, or a desire to develop these skills with appropriate support
