We’re looking for a Family Associate with a focus on finances to join a Legal 500-ranked team based in Manchester City Centre.

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

- 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
