Family Solicitor

Apply now
  • Step into a key role handling privately funded divorce and children cases.
  • Join a friendly, professional, and collegiate team in a well-established firm with a strong reputation.
  • Progress into a leadership role—this hire is expected to head up the team in the future.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident and autonomous family solicitor to join a long-standing and highly regarded firm.

You’ll be managing a strong caseload of 80% divorce and 20% children work, with a high-net-worth element due to the nature of police federation clients. You’ll be given the chance to embed yourself within the federation network, building strong client relationships while handling complex financial and pension matters.

The firm prides itself on its supportive, community-driven culture, with all departments working together on one floor. With a low-office-politics environment and a long-standing team, this is a place where you can truly thrive.

Over time, there is a clear pathway for progression into a leadership role, with the opportunity to head up the team in the future as senior members transition out.

We’re seeking a solicitor with:

  • Essential: Experience managing a privately funded caseload.
  • Essential: Confidence in working autonomously and handling cases independently.
  • Essential: Strong client-facing skills, with the ability to build relationships within the police federations.
  • Essential: A personable, friendly, and empathetic approach.
  • Desirable: Experience handling complex financial matters related to pensions and HNW assets.

Salary & Benefits

  • Salary: £40k+ (DOE).
  • Job security in a well-established firm with a long-standing team
  • Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 from home.
  • Progression opportunities: This role is expected to develop into a leadership position, with a clear route to heading up the team.
  • friendly, professional, and community-driven culture, where all departments work together with no office politics.
