Some family law teams talk about culture. This one lives it.

You’ll be joining a friendly, supportive team where people celebrate each other’s successes, check in when things are tough, and genuinely enjoy working together.

At the same time, you’ll handle quality private family work, develop your technical skills, and have clear opportunities to progress as the team continues to grow.

With a steady flow of work, strong leadership and an experienced support network around you, you’ll be able to focus on delivering great outcomes for clients rather than worrying about where the next case is coming from.

  • Experience managing your own divorce and financial remedy caseload
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Children and domestic abuse experience (Desired)
  • Comfortable building client relationships
  • Interest in networking and business development (Desired)
  • Friendly, approachable and collaborative personality


What you’ll be doing

  • Managing a private family caseload focused on divorce and financial remedy matters
  • Handling children and domestic abuse cases
  • Supporting on more complex family matters
  • Working closely with colleagues in a collaborative environment
  • Building strong client relationships
  • Contributing to networking and business development activities where appropriate


Salary & Benefits

  • Salary up to £55,000
  • Hybrid working (typically 3 days office / 2 days home)
  • Associate title available from day one where appropriate
  • Option of a 4-day week (excluding Fridays)
  • Genuine flexibility around childcare and personal commitments
  • Healthcare cash plan
  • Salary sacrifice pension
  • 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Christmas closure not taken from annual leave
  • Training, conferences and accreditation support
  • Personal and firmwide bonus opportunities
