Seeking 5 + years PAE in family law. Quality matters, equally split between property and parenting.
- Autonomy and the trust to do your job. Work as from home as much as you like.
- Reputable, Doyle’s Guide listed firm. Report to an Accredited Specialist.
- Reasonable 5 billable hour days.
What if your next Senior Associate/Special Counsel role gave you the freedom to work from home 5 days a week?
No, that’s not a typo.
I’m working with a highly regarded family law practice that is looking for an experienced Lawyer to join its team.
And they’re not looking for someone who needs to be shown the ropes.
They want someone who can hit the ground running.
The practice is boutique, genuinely collegial and highly regarded. You will report to an Accredited Specialist, with the work an even split between parenting and property matters.
But here’s the part that caught my attention:
Work from home as much as you want.
If you need to attend court, obviously, you attend court.
Otherwise? If you’re productive working remotely, they’re comfortable with you doing exactly that – even five days a week.
No presenteeism.
No pointless desk time.
No pretending you’re working because someone can see you.
Just good lawyers doing good work.
They’re looking for someone who is:
- Strong technically and able to work independently
- Comfortable handling parenting and property matters
- A genuine team player
- Someone who values working with nice people in a flexible environment where you’re trusted to do your job.
Interested? Let’s talk. With over 20 years experience recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.
The market is small, and confidentiality is key. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have or to discuss the options available in the market.
