Willed Law is an innovative law firm, specialising exclusively in wills and estates.

Willed Law is the affiliated law firm of Willed, a VC-backed startup making end-of-life planning simple, affordable, and accessible for all Australians.

At Willed, we’ve already helped tens of thousands of people write their legal Will, plan their funeral or apply for probate, making it easier for them to deal with the practicalities of death - be it that of a loved one or their own.

With a recent significant investment from Seven West Media, our team is expanding and our business is growing, and that’s where you come in.

6. 3+ Years PQE

It is preferred that you have:

What’s in it for you?

Apart from being part of a fantastic team, you will also get:

1. A competitive remuneration package
2. Extensive and invaluable training across multiple jurisdictions from wills & estates lawyers PLUS access to ongoing training and development budget
3. The opportunity to undertake meaningful work, helping clients when they need it most
