Family Law Legal Assistants & Paralegals - Let's Talk

Multiple Opportunities | Melbourne CBD & Suburbs | Boutique, Mid-Tier & National Firms

Are you a Family Law Legal Assistant or Paralegal wondering whether there's something better out there?

Maybe you're happy enough where you are.

Maybe you're actively looking.

Or maybe you're simply curious about what else is happening in the Melbourne
Family Law market.

Either way... let's have a conversation.

I am currently working with a number of highly regarded Family Law firms across Melbourne, with opportunities ranging from Legal Assistant and Senior Legal Assistant positions through to Paralegal and Law Clerk opportunities.

And they're not all the same.

Some roles will see you supporting a highly regarded Partner or Principal one-on-one. Others will give you the opportunity to work collaboratively across a team and play a genuine role in the progression and management of files.

Current opportunities include:

• Family Law Legal Assistants looking for their next long-term career move
• Senior Legal Assistants supporting Partners and Principals
• Family Law Paralegals seeking more responsibility and hands-on file involvement
• Law Clerks wanting to take greater ownership of matters
• Opportunities to work across complex parenting, property and financial matters
• Roles within boutique specialist firms through to larger, established practices
• Melbourne CBD, inner-city and suburban locations
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements available across selected roles

What are you looking for?

A better salary?

More flexibility?

A nicer team?

A Partner you genuinely enjoy working with?

The opportunity to step up from Legal Assistant into a more hands-on Paralegal or Law Clerk role?

Or perhaps you're studying law and want to build meaningful experience in Family Law alongside people you can genuinely learn from.

Whatever it is, I want to hear it.

With more than 20 years of legal recruitment experience—and having worked in legal support myself—I understand that finding the right role is about much more than simply matching a CV to a job description.

It's about finding the right firm, team, culture and career opportunity for you.

About You I would love to hear from candidates with:

• Previous experience as a Legal Assistant, Paralegal or Law Clerk within Family Law
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Experience supporting lawyers across Family Law matters
• A proactive and professional approach
• A genuine interest in building a career within Family Law

Whether you have one year of experience or twenty, there may be an opportunity worth talking about.

And if I don't currently have exactly what you're looking for?

Let's talk anyway.

I may be able to introduce you to a firm that isn't currently advertising - or go out and find the right opportunity for you.
