The Firm
We are Barry Nilsson (BN), a specialist national mid-tier law firm with a 60+ year history and over 450 staff. We don't practise in everything, just in what we know (and what we know well) which is Insurance & Health, Family Law and Wills & Estates.
We have plenty of accolades under our belt from industry bodies for our expertise and client service but most importantly, we are proud to be recognised for our commitment to our people after being named an Employer of Choice for the last six consecutive years by Australasian Lawyer. Our people describe us as approachable, collaborative, professional and most importantly down to earth.
The Team
Our national family law group is looking for talented and driven senior lawyers. We are a highly motivated team, led by eight well respected Principals. We are consistently recognised for our commitment to quality, successful outcomes and exceptional client service. We offer the opportunity to work across States/offices, together with genuine pathways for career progression.
The Role
Do you thrive on complex cases and delivering exceptional results? Exciting opportunities have arisen for experienced, highly motivated and ambitious family lawyers to join our Brisbane office. This is your chance to be part of a team that provides a full range of family law services in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney for local, international, and expatriate clients. The role involves working across a broad range of complex family law matters with a strategic approach to problem solving and helping our clients achieve their goals.
The Successful CandidateWe would love to hear from you if you have the following skills, experience and attributes:
- extensive family law experience;
- strong technical skills;
- ability to build strong relationships with a focus on client service;
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills;
- ability and enthusiasm to mentor junior practitioners; and
- a collaborative and pragmatic approach.
Specialist Accreditation in Family Law will be highly regarded.
The BenefitsWe offer a broad range of benefits to our people including:
- a firm laptop to support our agile working model;
- flexible working arrangements including a 9.5 day fortnight, working from home, purchase of leave options and public holiday swap policy;
- annual performance bonus scheme designed to recognise and reward strong performance;
- well-developed and structured mentoring, as well as internal and external training to assist with career progression;
- casual office environment with our dress for your day policy;
- access to our Health & Wellbeing program, BNWell, which supports the overall wellbeing of our people including a yearly health & wellbeing allowance and health & wellbeing day;
