The Managing Partner of this entrenched Queensland firm has identified the need to add their First Estates Partner (or scaling Special Counsel) to take up this mantel due to the ongoing pattern of requests from clients. Complex estates activity and some succession is coming out of their long‑term diversified Commercial clients and the broad‑based Commercial team which carry strong business sales clients as well as a depth of Sports and Pharmacy clients. This role will also interact heavily with the Family Practice in terms of providing this function. This sits within an entrenched CBD Queensland Firm. Overall the group is known for its breadth across corporate and commercial, property, disputes, family law and advisory services, creating a natural pipeline of estates work from longstanding business clients, family groups and intergenerational wealth matters. The partnership is seeking a senior estates practitioner who can formalise and elevate this practice area for the firm. You will be immediately supported by 1.5 experienced paralegals and a collegial disputes team operating in the contested estates space. The firm sees significant opportunity to consolidate private client services by integrating estate planning, structuring, administration and succession solutions for business owners and high‑net‑worthy families and will support team growth as needed. Leadership has a natural penchant for building practitioners’ profiles and supporting their growth. The firm’s remuneration model recognises responsible fees, referrals received, and referrals made across the partnership, encouraging a genuinely integrated approach rather than siloed practice building. For a partner seeking a stable, well‑resources platform with clear internal demand, this role offers the space to shape, grow and lead an estates function with full support from the partnership.
