Family Solicitor
- 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.

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.

- 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.
