Not every law firm still believes legal services need to feel rigid, corporate and old-school.
This boutique Queensland law firm was built differently.
Founded by a commercially minded lawyer with a passion for modernising the client experience, the firm has grown around one core belief: legal advice should be practical, accessible, relationship-driven and genuinely useful to clients, not buried in legal jargon or unnecessary complexity.
With a strong reputation across business advisory, property and private client services, the firm is continuing to expand its Wills & Estates practice and is looking for a capable lawyer who can confidently manage matters with a high level of autonomy while still benefiting from ongoing mentoring and support from senior practitioners.
This is an ideal opportunity for a 2-5 year PQE lawyer ready to step into a genuinely trusted advisor role within a progressive and flexible environment.
The Role
You will work across a broad mix of Wills & Estates matters including:
- Estate planning
- Drafting wills and enduring powers of attorney
- Testamentary trusts
- Estate administration
- Probate applications
- Letters of administration
- Advising executors and beneficiaries
- Succession planning for business owners
- Some estate dispute matters as experience allows
This role offers real file ownership and direct client engagement. You will be trusted to run matters from start to finish with minimal supervision while collaborating closely with senior lawyers on more complex files.
About You We're looking for someone who is technically strong but also commercially minded and emotionally intelligent and loves a collaborative working environment.
You will ideally have: - 2-5 years PQE in Wills & Estates law within a Queensland private practice environment
- Strong experience running estate planning and estate administration files with limited supervision
- Experience managing client relationships directly
- Excellent drafting and communication skills
- A practical, solutions-focused approach
- Confidence managing competing priorities and deadlines
- A genuine interest in building long-term client relationships
- A collaborative and down-to-earth attitude
- Bonus if you practice in other areas too!
Experience acting for small business owners and high-net-worth clients will be highly regarded.
What's on Offer This firm genuinely understands that good lawyers perform best when trusted and supported.
On offer is: - Salary package of $100,000-$135,000 + Super (depending on experience)
- Flexible working arrangements for the right person (work-from-home flexibility)
- Ongoing mentoring and training from senior lawyers
- A modern and relaxed firm culture
- High levels of autonomy and client responsibility
- Strong systems, technology and operational support
- Genuine career progression opportunities
- A collaborative team environment without big-firm politics
- Direct exposure to quality clients and varied matters
This is not a traditional hierarchical law firm environment. The team values authenticity, responsiveness, commercial thinking and building long-term relationships with both clients and staff.
If you're looking for a role where you can continue developing as a lawyer while enjoying flexibility, autonomy and meaningful client work, we'd love to hear from you.
All applications will be treated with strict confidentiality.
