- At least 10 years PAE across Family Law, Civil Litigation or Property Law (private practice experience needed)
- Proven experience managing files independently and delivering strong client outcomes
- Comfortable mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to team development
- Strong commercial awareness and interpersonal skills
