Family Lawyer (3–8 Years PQE) Brisbane OR Sunshine Coast | Hybrid | $130,000 to $165,000 + Super | Salary Based on Capability, Not PQE
What if it was about finally joining a law firm that values you as much as your clients?
A firm where flexibility isn't something you have to earn.
Where culture isn't a buzzword.
Where your leadership team genuinely wants you home with your family or doing what you love outside of the firm, instead of sitting behind your desk simply because everyone else is.
If that sounds refreshing, keep reading.
Optio6 Talent Partners has partnered with one of Queensland's most progressive and people focused Family Law firms to find their next Family Lawyer.
For more than a decade, this well established firm has built a reputation for doing Family Law differently.
Rather than following the traditional legal model, they've intentionally created a workplace where exceptional client outcomes begin with exceptional people, and exceptional people deserve an environment where they can thrive both professionally and personally.
This is a firm that's actively redefining what legal practice can look like.
Why lawyers choose this firm - People before billables
Yes, billables matter.
But they're never used as a stick.
Leadership understands that legal practice naturally comes in ebbs and flows.
If budgets aren't met, the conversation isn't:
"Why didn't you hit your target?"
It's:
"What's happening, and how can we help?"
Performance is measured by client outcomes, collaboration and contribution, not simply hours recorded.
Real flexibility, not policy book flexibility
Flexibility isn't written into a handbook and forgotten.
It's simply how the firm operates.
You can choose the work pattern that best suits your life.
• Start between 7:30am and 8:30am
• Finish between 4:00pm and 5:00pm
• Hybrid working
• Work from home "PJ Days"
• Free onsite parking
The CEO is often the person turning off the office lights at 5:00pm, encouraging everyone to head home and spend time with the people who matter most.
A culture that's intentionally built, not left to chance
Culture isn't created through annual surveys.
It's created every week.
Some of the initiatives that make this firm different include:
• Monday and Wednesday team meetings
• Wednesday Wins, celebrating personal and professional successes
• Monthly WOW Award recognising outstanding contributions
• Monthly LOVE Award, Living Our Values Every Day
• Bring Your Dog to Work days
• Fully stocked kitchen and pantry
• Regular team connection and recognition
These aren't occasional initiatives.
They're simply part of everyday life at the firm.
Meaningful work with genuine support
You'll work across a broad range of Family Law matters including:
• Initial client consultations
• Strategic legal advice
• Parenting matters
• Property settlements
• Mediations
• Court appearances
• Drafting applications, affidavits and submissions and more...
You'll enjoy genuine autonomy while remaining supported by approachable leaders who are invested in your success.
A firm that invests in your future
Professional development isn't viewed as an expense.
It's viewed as an investment.
The firm believes exceptional lawyers aren't defined by their PQE.
They're recognised for the value they bring, their judgement, initiative and commitment to their clients and colleagues.
Who we're looking for
You'll ideally bring:
• 3 to 8+ years' PQE in Family Law
• Strong drafting and advocacy skills
• Confidence managing your own matters with appropriate support
• High emotional intelligence, with a sense of humour
• Excellent communication and relationship building skills
• A collaborative approach
• A genuine passion for helping clients navigate some of life's most challenging moments
Most importantly, you'll be someone who wants to be part of a positive team and contribute to a culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
What's on offer
• Salary from $130,000 to $165,000 + Super, negotiated based on capability, not PQE alone
• Hybrid working
• Genuine work life balance
• Flexible start and finish times
• Free parking
• Ongoing professional development
• Supportive leadership
• Modern systems and technology
• Collaborative team environment
• A firm where people stay because they genuinely enjoy being there
This isn't just another Family Law opportunity.
It's an opportunity to join a firm that's deliberately challenging the outdated norms of legal practice and proving that high performing lawyers don't need to sacrifice their wellbeing to build an exceptional career.
If you've been wondering whether there's a better way to practise law, this could be the conversation that changes everything.
Whether you're actively looking or simply curious about what's possible, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
