Family Solicitor
- Family Solicitor role within a long-established Legal 500 team
- Run your own caseload with plenty of work to come into
- Hybrid working, clear progression and a genuinely supportive culture
This is an excellent opportunity for a Family Solicitor to join a well-established and highly regarded family law team in Leeds.
There is already a strong flow of work, meaning you’ll step into an existing caseload while continuing to build your own. The role mirrors what more senior team members are doing, just at a lower level, giving you the chance to develop your experience while remaining firmly fee-earning.
You’ll be part of a Legal 500-ranked family team that is focused on organic growth, client care and building a supportive, collaborative environment. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys running their own files, doing advocacy and being part of a growing team without stepping into a management role.
Who we’re looking for
- 2–4 years’ PQE in family law
- Experience running your own family law caseload without supervision
- Exposure to divorce, financial remedy and private children work
- Advocacy experience or confidence appearing in court
- Friendly, supportive and collaborative approach
- Strong-willed and confident, but a genuine team player
What you’ll be doing
- Running your own caseload of divorce, financial remedy and private children matters
- Managing lower-level family work with appropriate autonomy
- Carrying out your own advocacy
- Building and developing your caseload as new work comes in
- Playing a part in business development and profile-raising activity
- Working closely with senior colleagues as the team continues to grow
Salary & Benefits
- Salary £32,000 – £50,000, depending on experience
- Legal 500-ranked family team with a strong reputation in the market
- Excel-accredited firm with a serious focus on client care
- Hybrid working – up to 2 days working from home for full-time staff
- Part-time working considered (minimum 3 days)
- Clear progression opportunities, including promotion to senior solicitor level
- Supportive, friendly team culture where people genuinely enjoy working together
- Long-term growth plans within the family department
