Family Law Partner (Melbourne)

Lead a new practice in a firm that actually backs growth. Impressive infrastructure, support for marketing, and a CEO who’s serious about Family Law.
- Build the Family Law practice from the ground up – your name, your legacy.
- Respected national firm with more than 20 Partners ready to refer work your way.
- Earn 30–38% of billings plus referral bonuses across multiple practices. Time to build something of your own (without building it alone). They’ve got 250 staff nationally with the majority in Melbourne and not a single Family Lawyer in sight. That’s not a gap, that’s an opportunity with your name on it. The CEO’s got Family Law earmarked as the next big move. They’ve got the infrastructure, the brand, and the referrals – all they need is someone who’s ready to turn that potential into a fully‑fledged practice. What you’ll get
- A Melbourne office with more than 20 Partners who are tired of referring Family matters outside the firm and would much rather send them to you.
- Internal referral incentives (because nothing motivates lawyers like a %).
- The backing of a respected, profitable national firm, but the freedom to make this practice your own. What you’ll bring
- A solid book of work (around the $500k mark is the starting point).
- The ambition to grow – not just bill, but build.
- The kind of leadership that attracts positive juniors and keeps clients coming back. What you’ll earn They pay 30–38% of the overall practice size depending on your setup and trajectory, plus referral bonuses for any work you send to other practices. In other words: if you’re entrepreneurial, you’ll do very well here. This isn’t a “slot into an existing team” role. This is a “put your name on the door and shape the practice from scratch” role – with the marketing muscle and infrastructure to back you. If you’ve ever said to yourself, “If only I had the right platform, I could build something great,” …well, this is the platform. #J-18808-Ljbffr Apply on Kit Job: kitjobau.com/job/3rmvtj
