Family Lawyer - Buderim/hybrid
Christy Roth Law is a boutique family law practice in Buderim, Sunshine Coast, dedicated to guiding clients through challenging times with compassion and empathy. Known for our client-centred approach, we prioritise collaborative resolutions to minimise conflict and emotional strain.
We're seeking a skilled and passionate family lawyer to join our small, values-driven team on a part-time basis. This role offers genuine flexibility, ideal for balancing work with family, school hours, or other commitments with clear potential to grow into a full-time position with increased seniority.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced family lawyer with at least two (2) years' post-admission experience ("PAE") to work approximately three (3) days per week (or equivalent), with scope to transition to full-time and take on greater responsibility within the firm. Based in Buderim, Sunshine Coast, this hybrid role combines remote and in-office work, with flexible hours tailored to your lifestyle, whether accommodating school runs or personal commitments.
You'll manage a diverse caseload, including parenting arrangements, property settlements, financial agreements, and, when necessary, litigation. Our focus is on resolution, advocating strongly for clients while avoiding unnecessary costs or conflict. Experience in court appearance work is highly valued, as we tend to brief external counsel only for final hearings.
About You
- Admitted to practice in Queensland with a current practising certificate.
- At least two (2) years' PAE in family law.
- Australian citizenship is required for this position.
- Confident communicator with strong skills in negotiation, drafting, and advocacy.
- Compassionate, approachable, and driven to support clients through difficult times.
- Committed to work-life balance, prioritizing efficient resolutions over billable hours.
What We Offer
- A supportive, values-driven workplace where your contribution makes a difference.
- A close-knit team that collaborates to share knowledge and support each other's success.
- Flexible, family-friendly hours to suit your lifestyle.
- Clear career growth opportunities, including mentorship, involvement in complex cases, and potential to transition to full-time with increased seniority.
- The chance to practise law with empathy, ensuring clients feel heard and respected.
- A focus on cost-effective, timely resolutions.
- Competitive remuneration based on experience and hours.
- Access to a wide range of CPD activities at no cost.
- Provision of a dedicated laptop and mobile phone.
- Support for attending industry events or joining professional associations to build your network.
We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you require adjustments to the recruitment process or the role to support accessibility, please let us know. If you're a family lawyer passionate about making a meaningful impact, working flexibly, and avoiding burnout, we'd love to hear from you.
