Family Solicitor

Hot Job

Apply now
  • Join a forward-thinking, commercially aware boutique family law firm that is tearing up the rule book on chargeable time.
  • Choose your own path—fast-track to Team Leader or Partner, or simply enjoy high-quality work without leadership pressures.
  • Enjoy work-life balance with a remote-first culture and flexible office attendance.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Family Solicitor (8+ PQE) or Partner to join an innovative family law firm that is revolutionising the profession through cutting-edge technology, AI, and a fresh approach to billable time.

With a remote-first culture, you’ll have the autonomy to run your caseload while benefiting from the firm’s structured support. You’ll take on a complex, high-value caseload, including financial and children matters exceeding £1 million—some reaching £15 million—at either the outset or critical stages of proceedings.

For those seeking career progression, there’s a clear pathway to leadership, whether that’s stepping into a Team Leader role or advancing to Partner. However, if you simply want to focus on high-quality work without the pressures of management, that’s completely supported too.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a family solicitor or partner who:

  • Has 8+ years PQE
  • Can independently run a complex caseload of financial, children, and non-molestation matters.
  • Is commercially aware, confident in billing and converting leads.
  • Ideally has Legal 500 experience (desirable).
  • Values autonomy and work-life balance, thriving in a remote-first culture.
  • Has a positive, open-minded approach and is comfortable discussing innovative ways to deliver legal services.

Salary & Benefits

  • Up to £85,000 for Partners.
  • Flexible working – required in the office just one day per week (Wednesday), with the option to reduce to once a fortnight or once a month.
  • Fast-track to leadership – clear progression to Team Leader or Partner.
  • A novel, tech-driven approach to family law, focused on efficiency and innovation.
  • Fully remote-first firm, offering real autonomy and work-life balance.
