KEY POINTS WE FOUND
  • Maintain client relationships while utilising firm resources.
  • Focus on practising law without administrative burdens.
  • Opportunity for established legal professionals to enhance their practice.

Maintain your clients and professional independence while gaining the infrastructure, support and professional environment of an established law firm.

An established Melbourne CBD law firm is seeking an experienced legal consultant, sole practitioner or practice principal with an established and transferable client base.

This is not a conventional salaried solicitor position. It is an opportunity to continue developing your practice without carrying the full administrative and operational burden of running a standalone firm.

WHAT THE FIRM PROVIDES

As part of the firm, you would have access to:

  • Melbourne CBD office facilities and established practice infrastructure
  • Paralegal, secretarial and administrative support
  • Accounting and operational support
  • Marketing resources to support practice development
  • An experienced legal team across complementary practice areas

The arrangement allows you to focus more of your time on practising law, servicing clients and developing your practice, with less time absorbed by administration, staffing and day-to-day business operations.

WHO COULD THIS SUIT?

This opportunity may appeal to:

  • An established legal consultant or senior lawyer seeking a stronger professional platform
  • A sole practitioner looking to reduce the demands of operating independently
  • A boutique-practice principal seeking greater support and professional connection

You will have established client relationships, the ability to transition and continue servicing those clients, and a commitment to providing high-quality legal advice.

You must hold and maintain an appropriate practising certificate. The fee-sharing and broader commercial arrangements will be discussed confidentially with suitable practitioners.

PRACTICE AREAS

The firm is interested in practitioners operating across:

  • Business and Commercial Law
  • Property and Conveyancing
  • Wills and Estates
  • Disputes and Litigation
  • Family Law

The opportunity is with a boutique Melbourne CBD law firm that has operated for more than 50 years and is known for practical advice, personalised service and long-term client relationships.

The firm is also open to confidential discussions with principals of small legal practices considering a merger, succession or consolidation opportunity.

CONFIDENTIAL ENQUIRIES

All enquiries will be managed in strict confidence by Pinstripe Recruitment. Detailed client or financial information is not required at the initial stage.

Apply through this advertisement or contact Gavin at Pinstripe Recruitment for a confidential discussion about your practice and professional objectives.
