Osborne Legal is looking for a Junior Family Lawyer to join our Dubbo team. Whether you’ve recently been admitted or have up to three years’ experience, we’ll give you the mentoring, variety and hands-on opportunities you need to become an excellent family lawyer.

What you’ll be doing

Family law is never dull. Your days will include:

  • Helping clients navigate separation, parenting and property matters
  • Drafting advice, agreements, court documents and correspondence
  • Holding client conferences and assisting with negotiations
  • Appearing in court as your skills and confidence grow
  • Learning from experienced lawyers who remember what it’s like to be junior
  • Gradually running your own matters—with support close by when you need it

You might be our person if you:

  • Hold, or are eligible to hold, an NSW practising certificate
  • Can explain complicated things in normal human language
  • Combine empathy with a cool head and good judgement
  • Notice the small details without losing sight of the big picture
  • Enjoy working with people and don’t take yourself too seriously
  • Want to build a genuine career in family law

Family-law experience would be terrific, but it isn’t essential. Enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn matter just as much. Newly admitted lawyers are encouraged to apply.

Why join us?

  • Proper mentoring—not just “shout if you need anything”
  • Interesting work and early, supported responsibility
  • A friendly team that enjoys working together
  • Competitive remuneration based on experience
  • Genuine opportunities to learn and progress
  • A regional lifestyle with more time for the things you enjoy
  • No spending half your life in traffic
  • Affordable housing
