- Strong advocacy skills and confidence conducting your own hearings

What you’ll be doing
- Managing a privately funded family caseload from start to finish
- Converting and progressing existing enquiries
- Handling divorce, finance, private children and TOLATA matters
- Conducting your own advocacy
- Delivering excellent client care throughout
- Working closely with the wider family team and support staff
