Young & Young is seeking to further expand its ranks to meet the ever increasing demand for legal services in the South West.  We are looking for lawyers with experience in family law however experience or an interest in criminal law is also highly desirable. Applicants with experience beyond these areas are also encouraged to apply as there is high demand in a range of areas.

Applicants seeking full-time and part-time positions will be considered and flexible hours or work from home arrangements can be accommodated.  An attractive remuneration package commensurate with experience will be offered.

Why join Young & Young?

Young & Young was founded by twins, Campbell and Clive Young, in 1957.  The firm continues to honour their core beliefs in a range of ways, including: creating a supportive work environment that values all staff and appreciates the importance of work/life balance; fostering the development of the careers of its employees; a commitment to community service and access to justice; and putting people before profit.  

In line with these values, Young & Young seeks to foster a workplace culture that values teamwork and respect, creating a family-like working environment.  Reflecting this, the firm has support and professional staff who have worked for decades at the firm, including some who have left to raise children, then returned when the opportunity arose.

Not only is Young & Young a great law firm to work for, Bunbury provides the best of all worlds as a lifestyle choice.  Surrounded by pristine beaches and adjacent to the beautiful Ferguson Valley, Bunbury is also close to the attractions of Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River and you can drive to Perth in under 2 hours. Housing is more affordable, there are excellent schools and no traffic jams (Young & Young provides ample free on-site parking).
