Junior Associate – Banking & Finance Litigation - Bransgroves
Fully Remote • High Earnings • Exceptional Support • True Work–Life Flexibility
Description:
Bransgroves Lawyers is a specialist firm with more than 24 years’ experience exclusively in commercial mortgage matters. We operate as a 100% virtual practice, with systems and culture purpose-built for high-performing lawyers who value flexibility, autonomy, and generous earnings.
We are seeking a Junior Associate to join our Mortgage Enforcement Team, working closely with our Enforcement Partner on a wide variety of commercial recovery matters.
This is a truly flexible role. You will work entirely from home, with full freedom to manage your day around school commitments, appointments, and family life. Travel—local or overseas—can be seamlessly accommodated. You set your own hours, and your workload scales with your personal preferences.
Remuneration includes a weekly base salary plus a generous weekly fee-share bonus. While the base is $110k, most Associates progress to earning between $180k–$250k+ annually through fee share as they grow with the firm. Earnings increase directly with the amount of work you choose to take on.
You will be strongly supported. Your team includes the Enforcement Partner and a dedicated Philippines-based paralegal who manages all administrative tasks. You will also have operational support from two specialist bookkeepers, a Managing Director focused on systems and efficiency, and 24/7 access to our Head Partner—author of three leading mortgage law textbooks—for guidance on complex issues.
Our technology stack includes Actionstep, PEXA, DocuSign, Google Workspace and advanced bespoke systems, supported by automation and AI-driven tools.
Training is thorough, with a detailed enforcement procedures manual, structured onboarding, load-balancing across the team, and full cross-training to support periods of leave.
You will draft pleadings, brief barristers, appear remotely in court, manage client files, and work directly with senior practitioners on real matters from day one.
If you want a high-earning, low-stress legal career with unparalleled flexibility and support, we’d love to hear from you.
Criteria:
We’re looking for a Junior Associate lawyer with around two years’ experience, ideally with exposure to mortgage enforcement. You should feel comfortable handling enforcement steps, preparing court documents, and progressing matters with guidance from senior lawyers. While we will train you in our systems and procedures, prior enforcement experience is important for this role.
You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy a steady, organised environment with clear procedures and strong support from both your Partner and your paralegal. Because this is a fully remote position, being reliable, communicative, and able to keep matters moving at a consistent pace is important, though you will never be left on your own with difficult decisions.
Good written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and a practical, calm approach to problem-solving will help you succeed. Experience with Actionstep, PEXA or DocuSign is useful, but we are very comfortable teaching you new systems.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants genuine flexibility, values a supportive team culture, and enjoys the predictability of well-structured workflows. It is especially suited to applicants who appreciate work–life balance, remote work, and a collaborative environment where everyone supports each other.
If you are looking for a role where you can do meaningful litigation work without the pressure of a traditional practice, we’d love to meet you.
Rate of Pay: $110,000
Duration: Full time
