Associate / Senior Associate

Good family lawyers know the law. Great family lawyers change lives.

At DDCS Lawyers, we believe legal expertise is only part of what makes an exceptional family lawyer.

The rest is listening. Understanding. Perspective. Calm under pressure. Helping people move forward with confidence.

If that’s how you practice, we’d like to meet you.

We’re looking for someone who:

-          Has approximately 3 – 8+ years post-admission experience (Associate or Senior Associate)

-          Enjoys family law and wants to build genuine expertise

-          Thinks strategically and communicates with empathy

-          Values collaboration

-          Enjoys mentoring junior lawyers or is ready to develop these skills

-          Wants to contribute to a positive, high-performing culture.

You’ll work on complex parenting and property matters, financial agreements and sensitive disputes that genuinely impact people’s lives.

You’ll have autonomy. Support when you need it. And colleagues who enjoy working together.

What you’ll find at DDCS 

A fulfilling career isn’t built on billable hours alone.

It’s built on meaningful work. Trusted relationships. The opportunity to keep learning. The confidence to take ownership. And a team that genuinely wants you to succeed. At DDCS, we offer:

-          Flexibility built on trust

-          High quality work from day one

-          Approachable partners who enjoy mentoring

-          Genuine career progression

-          Excellent administrative support
