Graduate or Junior Solicitor - Family Team
We usually respond within three days
Are you a law graduate looking for an opportunity to enter the profession, or perhaps a practising junior who is looking for a change of direction?
Do you have an interest in family law, are prepared for challenging matters, unrealistic timeframes, frustrating delays and court scheduling drama?
Do you see a future for yourself in family law that perhaps includes working towards Lawyer for Child appointment – or more!
Then we might have the place for you within our team of family lawyers here at Lawhub.
We are looking to grow our team of family lawyers to meet the growing demand from people seeking legal representation in family matters. The work is varied – no two days are the same – but it brings with it challenges that can result in your having played an integral part in moving your client forward towards resolution of tough emotional matters.
Our team provides legal representation primarily for legal aid clients, but we also have a strong private client base. You will need to be able to communicate appropriately with people from all sections of the community in a supportive and non-judgmental way. Lawhub is about client support so your role may include tasks that are outside of the conventional lawyer model. All lawyers in the team are expected to learn the ropes from the bottom up so if you don’t think learning how to open a file is for you – then please don’t apply.
Lawhub will reward you with a positive working environment, advanced IT support, administration support, flexible working setups and free coffee! Lawhub is also committed to ongoing professional development and providing opportunities to experience other types of law to broaden your skill base.
If you think this might be you, then send through a short CV and a cover letter of no more than one A4 page which will convince us you are the person we are looking for. There is no requirement to provide your university transcript at this stage – what is more important is a genuine interest in this area of law, and that you will fit with our existing team of lawyers and support staff. A sense of humour is an absolute must.
This position will have an immediate start but if you are currently employed and you are the right person for us, we will consider waiting out a notice period. If you do not have admission that is not a barrier to your application.
