Job Description

Associate - Senior Associate - Family Lawyer

Liverpool or Carrngbah, NSW

About the Firm

Our client is a well established New South Wales law firm with a strong reputation across commercial, property, litigation and estate work. Operating for more than three decades, the firm has built a loyal client base and is now expanding its family law offering in the Sutherland Shire.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity for a mid level to senior family lawyer to join a firm that takes a considered, client focused approach to relationship breakdown, preferring practical negotiated outcomes while remaining ready to advocate firmly for clients in court when needed. You will manage your own caseload with a high degree of autonomy, supported by a collegiate and experienced team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a caseload spanning financial and property settlements, parenting applications and parenting plans

  • Advise on divorce and de facto relationship matters, spousal maintenance and child support

  • Prepare binding financial agreements and consent orders

  • Represent clients in mediation, arbitration and, where required, court proceedings, including matters involving domestic violence

  • Provide clear, practical advice to clients on their rights, entitlements and obligations, particularly during the early, sensitive stages of separation

  • Build and manage direct client relationships with increasing autonomy over time

About You

  • Admitted as a solicitor in NSW with a current practising certificate

  • Mid level to senior post admission experience gained primarily in family law (more senior candidates with your own following of work are encouraged to apply)

  • Strong technical knowledge across property settlement, parenting matters and financial agreements

  • A calm, empathetic approach balanced with sound commercial and strategic judgement

  • Confident advocate, comfortable in negotiation, mediation and court settings

  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a supportive team environment

What's on Offer

  • A genuinely varied family law caseload within a well established firm

  • High level of autonomy, with support from an experienced and collegiate team

  • A firm culture that values considered, client focused outcomes over unnecessary litigation

  • A supportive working environment with genuine career progression

  • Flexible working arrangements and an attractive remuneration package, commensurate with experience

How to Apply

For a confidential discussion, please contact Niki Kunovski on 0422 561 621 or niki@hookerheijden.com.au. All applications and enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Kind Regards,
