Job Description

We are a small, well-established family law firm based in Nowra, proudly servicing the South Coast. Due to continued growth and our expansion into Wollongong, we are seeking a Graduate Solicitor who is keen to build a meaningful career in family law within a supportive and hands-on environment.

About Us

We are a close-knit practice focused exclusively on family law. Our work is people-focused, practical and compassionate. We value clear communication, strong advocacy and genuine care for our clients during what is often the most difficult time in their lives.

As a small firm, you won’t be lost in the crowd – you will be mentored, trusted and given real responsibility from day one.

About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate solicitor who wants:

  • Exposure to all aspects of family law, including parenting matters, property settlements and divorce
  • Direct client contact and court exposure
  • Close mentoring from experienced family law practitioners
  • The opportunity to grow with the firm as we expand into Wollongong

About You

You will ideally have:

  • Recently completed a law degree and PLT, or be admitted (or eligible for admission)
  • A genuine interest in family law
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • A professional, empathetic and organised approach
  • The ability to work independently while also contributing to a small team

Prior family law experience is welcome but not essential – we value attitude, initiative and a willingness to learn.

What We Offer

  • Supportive and approachable mentorship
  • Hands-on learning and real responsibility
  • A positive, flexible and respectful workplace culture
  • Long-term career development within a growing regional firm
  • Roastered Day offs
