Family Associate Solicitor (Finances)
- Work exclusively on complex, HNW divorce and finance matters
- Be part of a Legal 500-listed boutique with big-firm backing
- 4-hour chargeable target, 3 days from home, and freedom to grow your profile
Are you feeling stuck in a rigid structure with no real freedom to grow? This is your chance to step into a dynamic boutique family law firm where your ambition, ideas, and independence are genuinely valued.
We’re looking for a Family Associate with a focus on finances to join a Legal 500-ranked team based in Manchester City Centre. You’ll take over a healthy caseload of complex medium-to-high-net-worth finance matters and be supported to position yourself as the go-to divorce lawyer in the Manchester market.
This is a firm for go-getters — lawyers who thrive on flexibility, enjoy being social, and want to do things their way (without being clock-watched).
Who we’re looking for
- Ideally 4–5 PQE (Associate level) – but open to strong candidates either side
- Confident running your own divorce and finance files from start to finish
- Experience dealing with HNW/complex finance matters
- Some networking or market presence would be a bonus
- Hungry, ambitious, and ready to raise your profile
Salary & Benefits
- Competitive salary (depending on experience)
- 4-hour chargeable target per day – no unnecessary pressure
- 2 days per week in the city centre office
- Private health insurance
- 3 days working from home
- Join a growing boutique firm backed by a large, international law firm
- Serious progression opportunities – move to Senior Associate and beyond
- Supportive, flexible, and forward-thinking culture
- Be part of a team that’s rewriting the rules of traditional family law firms
