- Mentoring junior lawyers as the team grows
- Working closely with an established, award-winning national family team across multiple offices
Salary & Benefits

- Hybrid working – typically 1–2 days from home once established
- Strong job security within a stable, well-invested national platform
- Extensive wellbeing initiatives including healthy office environments, yoga sessions, and team socials
