Competitive Salary
Canberra | 3-5 Years PAE | Boutique Firm | Immediate Need

Your New Company
Our client is a reputable boutique private practice experiencing sustained growth and seeking an experienced Lawyer or Associate to join their high performing team. The firm is well known for providing accessible, fixed fee, client focused legal services, including wills and estates, probate, trusts, SMSFs, and ACT/NSW conveyancing. With a continued increase in new matters, this role has been created to support the expanding workload. The incoming lawyer will step into an established practice with strong client demand and minimal need for supervision.

Your New Role
This role is ideal for a Lawyer or Associate with 3-5 years' post admission experience, who is confident managing files autonomously.

You will handle a diverse range of matters, including:
Simple and complex wills, powers of attorney and estate documents.
Probate and estate administration, including guidance for executors and beneficiaries.
ACT and NSW conveyancing across residential and small business property matters.
Advisory work involving trusts, SMSFs, and estate structures.

Due to the firm's busy and fast paced environment, this is not a role suited to graduates or junior lawyers. There is limited scope for training from the ground up. Instead, you will enjoy autonomy, meaningful client interaction, and the ability to immediately contribute.

What You'll Need to Succeed
3-5 years' PAE, ideally across wills & estates and/or conveyancing.
Ability to work autonomously in a fast paced environment with minimal supervision.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain legal concepts in a clear, client friendly way.
A client care mindset and commitment to delivering exceptional customer service.
Organisational skills and confidence managing your own file load.
Culture & Environment

This boutique firm operates with:
High autonomy
Fast paced workflow
A strong commitment to client care and quality service delivery
A collaborative, supportive environment where experienced practitioners thrive

What You'll Get in Return
A competitive salary reflective of experience
The opportunity to step into a busy, established caseload
Flexibility, work/life balance, and a transparent, values driven workplace
The chance to specialise further in high demand practice areas including estates, conveyancing and trusts
