Family Lawyer

ARE YOU AN OUTSTANDING FAMILY LAWYER? BUILD YOUR LEGAL LEGACY WITH US IN CAIRNS.

RK Law Queensland’s newly established and fast-growing Cairns office, urgently seeks an experienced family lawyer to join us.

This is not your average lawyer role. For the right person, it’s a unique opportunity to contribute significantly to a collaborative work environment with a heavy focus on client service. Every day, expect to:

Apply and grow your expertise in a variety of Family Law cases.
Work alongside exceptional lawyers who share your dedication and motivation to making a difference to our clients’ lives.
Build a rewarding career in a thriving Queensland practice with offices in Caloundra and Cairns, with clients across the state.
Here’s how we operate

RK Law Queensland has a meticulous reputation, and we deliver exactly what we say. We’re a small, agile practice that works to do whatever is necessary to ensure our clients feel valued and, most importantly, get the best possible outcomes. We serve predominantly crime, domestic violence and family law clients.

We’ve built the practice on positive word of mouth from clients who often felt helpless or hopeless, but who leave us feeling defended and empowered.

What boxes do I need to tick?

While you’d be based in Cairns, we have clients all over Queensland, so if you’re available to travel, that would work in your favour.

A minimum of six months’ Post Admission Experience with prior employment in Family Law is non-negotiable. And as you’d expect, we’d be hiring for attitude alongside experience and looking for evidence that you’re an a genuine ‘people person’ and an energetic, bright self-starter with an outstanding work ethic.

Tick those boxes? Excellent. We offer:

Generous salary? Yes. Expect between $90K and 130K, contingent on experience, with built-in billable hour budget that must be achieved.

Generous leave options? Yes.

Mentoring? Yes. We want you to build on your experience and move forward.

Genuine colleagues? Yes. We do (work) life together, knowing that life is more than a job, and family comes first.

Can you deliver? Send us your resume.

Opportunities like this are rare, so if you’re ready to build on your career foundations in a friendly, growing practice with a reputation for defending people’s futures, we’re ready to meet you.
