About Us
We are a boutique law firm originally founded in the United Kingdom and now expanding into Western Australia. We are seeking a senior, WA-qualified Solicitor with strong legal compliance and regulatory experience to help lead our practice in Australia.
This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in a new law firm while enjoying a part-time, flexible arrangement. The role is particularly suited to experienced practitioners looking for reduced hours, flexibility, or even those in early retirement wishing to remain active in practice.
The Role
Working 1–2 days per week (primarily remote, with rare office attendance in WA), you will:
Oversee the firm’s legal compliance obligations under the Legal Practice Board of WA, including trust account compliance, CPD requirements, and professional conduct.
Provide senior-level legal advice and strategic guidance across a range of matters relevant to a new firm.
Draft and review legal documents, manage client files, and ensure best practice in risk management.
Develop and implement firm policies, governance, and compliance systems to support the new practice.
Collaborate with the UK-based directors and team, requiring some flexible hours to accommodate time zone differences.
(Desirable) Handle personal injury matters such as workers’ compensation, motor vehicle accidents, and public liability claims.
About You
You will bring:
Current admission as a solicitor in Western Australia and a valid practising certificate.
Senior-level experience in legal practice, with a strong focus on compliance, governance, and WA regulatory frameworks.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and lead compliance systems.
Strong drafting, advisory, and client management skills.
Ability to work flexible hours to engage with colleagues in the UK.
(Bonus) Experience in personal injury law.
Suitability for those seeking part-time, flexible work, including practitioners in early retirement.
What We Offer
Part-time, 1–2 days per week with flexible working hours.
Salary: AUD $58,000 – $96,500 pro-rata, equivalent to FTE AUD $145,000 – $193,000.
Remote-first position with minimal office attendance required.
The opportunity to join a UK-founded law firm during its expansion into WA.
A senior, trusted role with autonomy and flexibility.
