* Challenging matters that sharpen technical skills and build courtroom confidence.
* Run matters end-to-end, making key decisions and managing clients with autonomy.
* The firm promotes from within; success is based on capability, not bringing work.
This is one of Sydney's most respected family law firms, and their challenge isn't winning work – it's finding lawyers with the experience and judgment to deliver it. This Senior Associate opportunity exists because the firm handles complex, high-stakes matters that require real litigation capability, regular court appearances, and the confidence to run files autonomously from start to finish. Working here means you will be exposed to challenging, high-quality matters that will sharpen your technical skills faster than at most other firms.
They are looking for a lawyer in the 5+ year range with strong family law experience, comfortable being in court frequently, and trusted to manage matters without hand-holding. Specialist Accreditation is not essential; depth of experience, sound judgment, and composure under pressure matter far more. At a firm like this, the calibre of the work provides a rare opportunity to grow your expertise while taking on responsibility that will make you a standout practitioner.
The firm offers a genuinely strong and collegiate group of lawyers, high-quality work without the scramble for billables, and long-term opportunity for people who want to grow with the practice. Beyond skill development, being part of a firm with such a strong brand will allow you to leverage that reputation for future career opportunities, giving your professional profile lasting prestige. If you have an eye of the future, they have historically promoted partners from within and so there is no expectation that you will bring work with you – capability is the currency here.
If you're ready for better work, accelerated growth, and the chance to build a career on both skill and reputation, this is a role worth exploring.
