This is a unique opportunity for a Family Solicitor to join a boutique, employee-owned family law firm in Cheshire, a team known for its reputation, values and client-centred approach.
You’ll step into an existing caseload and be part of a genuinely supportive environment where everyone pulls in the same direction, shares in success and embraces a collaborative working culture.
This is a firm where work-life balance is respected, chargeable hours are light-touch, and profit isn’t the driving force; client happiness and quality of service are.

- Comfortable managing a mixed caseload of finances and private children matters
- Open to working on both standard files and higher-quality/HNW cases

- Happy to mediate where appropriate and litigate when necessary
- Supportive, approachable, values-driven and focused on client relationships
- Someone with strong work ethic and emotional intelligence
- Able to slot into a collaborative, non-competitive, people-first culture
What you’ll be doing
- Take over an existing caseload
- Support senior lawyers on HNW and complex cases
- Handle all files from start to finish, with administrative and junior support where needed
- Contribute to a positive, supportive environment and uphold Resolution values
- Grow your skills in a firm known for attracting complex work without corporate pressure
Salary & Benefits
- Quarterly bonuses shared across all employees, from lawyers to reception
- True flexibility: no clock watching, freedom to manage your day
- Hybrid working: 2 days in the office with flexibility thereafter
- Part-time considered (minimum 3 days)
- Career pathway plan in development, with structured progression
- Strong wellbeing focus: supportive team, empathetic culture, no unrealistic targets
- Incredibly positive client reputation, with referrals and reviews driving most new business
