For the Wills & Estates Lawyer Ready for Something That Works Around Your Life
You're technically capable and you genuinely love this area of law. The client relationships are real, the problems are complex and the work carries weight that most legal practice simply doesn't. What you're looking for now isn't just a better firm. It's a better setup. One where the work is sophisticated, the autonomy is real and the conditions actually reflect the contribution you make.
The Organisation
The in-house legal practice of Queensland's leading healthcare union, serving a membership of over 70,000 healthcare professionals. The broader team of 12 spans family law, employment, health regulatory, estates and conveyancing. The wills and estates practice is established and active, driven by consistent membership demand. You won't be building from scratch. You'll be stepping into a practice with real momentum.
The Timing
Demand within the membership is strong and ongoing. This role exists because the practice needs a lawyer who can operate with genuine autonomy, manage their own caseload and deliver quality outcomes without needing to be closely supervised. If you're at the stage in your career where you're ready to own your files, this is the environment for it.
The Work Itself
Estate planning for members with real complexity — trusts, blended families, special disability considerations. Administration through difficult and contested situations. Litigation and family provision applications where the stakes are personal as much as financial. Clients who are healthcare professionals navigating something hard, and who need a lawyer who takes that seriously.
Where You'll Land
Flat, family-friendly culture with full autonomy over your time. 37.5-hour week, three days in office and two from home. Three gifted leave days over Christmas and New Year. EBA remuneration with two pay increases per year, and paid parental leave.
Sound Like You?
3+ years PAE in wills and estates, strong across planning, administration and litigation. You're comfortable owning your files, making sound judgements independently and delivering for clients without being closely managed. You're ready for an environment that gives you the space to do the work properly.
