Family Lawyer - Partner

Not a Partner yet, but feel you've earned the opportunity?

Perhaps you're a Senior Associate or Special Counsel who feels they've hit the ceiling.

You've built strong technical skills, developed trusted client relationships, mentored junior lawyers and consistently delivered results. Yet despite your contribution, a clear pathway to Partnership still feels out of reach.

Or perhaps you are a Partner but find yourself spending too much time on business development, networking and administration, rather than practising family law.

About Unified Lawyers

Unified Lawyers is one of Australia's largest and fastest-growing specialist family law firms. If you’re looking for a genuine leadership opportunity, we’d like to speak to you.

Our lawyers work alongside highly experienced team of family law professionals, working across the full spectrum of family law matters, from parenting and property disputes through to complex financial arrangements, family violence matters, international asset structures and high-net-worth cases.

As we continue to grow nationally, we are looking to appoint an experienced Family Lawyer who is ready to take the next step towards leadership.

Why Join Unified Lawyers?

Practice Family Law. Leave the Rest to Us:

Most experienced family lawyers didn't enter the profession to spend their time networking, generating work, invoicing or dealing with administrative burdens.

We've built a support structure that allows our lawyers to focus on what they do best: delivering exceptional outcomes for clients.

Our dedicated Client Care Team, made up of experienced family lawyers, manages enquiries, consultations and client onboarding. Combined with our administration and accounts support teams, this means our lawyers spend all of their time practising family law rather than non-billable distractions.

Most importantly, our lawyers enjoy a consistent flow of new matters, without the pressure of building a personal practice from scratch.

A True Specialist Family Law Firm

Unlike general practice firms with a family law department, family law is our sole focus.

Everything we do, our systems, training, processes and people - has been designed specifically for family law.

This provides our lawyers with the opportunity to work alongside specialist colleagues, develop deep technical expertise and gain exposure to a broad range of complex family law matters.

Work-Life Balance

We believe high performance should be sustainable.

That's why we offer:

• A clear and realistic daily billable target
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Strong administrative and operational support
• Modern systems and technology
• A culture that values both professional excellence and personal wellbeing

Leadership Opportunities Created Through Growth

• Unified Lawyers continues to expand nationally, creating genuine opportunities for ambitious lawyers who want to develop their careers.
• We're not looking for someone to simply fill a seat.
• We're looking for future leaders.
• Whether your goal is to lead a team, build a specialist practice, become a Partner or play a key role in our national growth strategy, you'll be joining a firm where opportunity is created through growth, not by waiting for someone else to move on.

• Additional annual leave based on years of service
