women

Women’s Legal Centre ACT’s family law solicitors provide advice and representation in relation to divorce and separation, care arrangements for children, property and financial matters following separation, family violence orders and early intervention in care and protection matters. Our practice is focused on early intervention and early resolution. You’ll use advice, negotiation, dispute resolution and advocacy skills to find practical solutions for client’s that prioritise safety. Where litigation is the right pathway, we represent clients in ACT and Commonwealth Courts, including to final hearing. This is a varied and rewarding role where you will provide high-quality legal advice and representation while working collaboratively with social workers and community service providers to ensure clients receive coordinated legal and social support that responds to their broader circumstances. Community-based practice embedded in Child and Family Centres across ACT is an integral part of this role.
