Position: Solicitor
Job type: Hybrid
Job status: Full-time
Listing close date:  31 August 2026
Job Description: Solicitor — Leo Law, Dubbo Down-to-earth legal advice for regional and rural people.

About Us
Leo Law was formed to disrupt the traditional legal experience between lawyers and clients. We believe in transparency, genuine relationships, and a caring approach — no stuffy jargon, no talking down to people, just clear advice for the good people of Dubbo and the wider region. Based at 41 Church Street, Dubbo, we service an area stretching from the Blue Mountains to the South Australian border, and everywhere in between. Our team is small by design — because we'd rather know our clients by name than lose them in a filing system.

The Role
We're on the lookout for a Solicitor to join our growing team, working across Commercial Law, Wills & Estates, Property Law & Litigation. You'll get to:

• Run your own files with real autonomy, backed by a supportive principal and team who'll always have your back
• Work on genuinely varied and interesting matters — from succession planning and will disputes to rural property and business transactions
• Build long-term relationships with clients who are grateful for good, honest advice
• Contribute to a firm that's actively trying to do things differently in a profession that badly needs it

About You

• Admitted as a solicitor in NSW (or eligible for immediate admission), with a current practising certificate
• Some experience in commercial, property, or wills & estates work — or a genuine keenness to learn
• A clear communicator who can translate legalese into plain English (this one's non-negotiable — it's kind of our whole thing)
• Comfortable working autonomously but happy to ask questions and pitch in as part of a close team
• A "people person" who actually enjoys country life, or is curious to give it a go

Why Dubbo?
Big skies, a real sense of community, and none of the Sydney commute. Affordable housing, great schools, and a thriving regional hub that's close enough to the coast and the mountains for a weekend away, but far enough to actually switch off. If you've been thinking about a tree-change (or you're already one of us and just looking for the right firm), this is it.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
• New refurbished offices in the heart of the Dubbo CBD
• Genuine flexibility and support for work-life balance
• A firm that values care over billables and relationships over red tape
• The chance to build something meaningful in a team that's small enough to matter and ambitious enough to grow

Ready to experience the difference? Send your CV and a cover letter to admin@leolaw.com.au, or give us a call on 02 5836 7080 for a confidential chat.
