Matrimonial Solicitor

Apply now
  • Join a friendly, welcoming, and supportive team where successes—big or small—are always celebrated.
  • Take on high-quality, privately funded matrimonial work with the flexibility to work from home three days a week.
  • Enjoy a highly competitive salary and immediate progression, with the opportunity to become an associate from day one.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established and growing firm. You’ll work closely with two highly experienced family practitioners on a strong caseload of privately funded divorce and finance matters.

The team prides itself on its relaxed yet high-performing culture, where everyone genuinely cares about one another. Whether it’s celebrating birthdays, passing exams, or simply checking in when needed, this firm values its people’s well-being. If you’re looking for a career move away from the high-pressure, target-driven nature of city centre firms while still handling exceptional-quality work, this could be the perfect fit.

  • Essential: NQ–5 PQE in family law.
  • Essential: Experience managing privately funded divorce and finance work.
  • Essential: Strong case management skills.
  • Essential: An open, friendly, and empathetic approach, with the ability to work well with others.

  • Job security in a well-established firm with a loyal client base and organic team growth.
  • Flexible working—8 days per month in the office, with a 9am–5pm working structure.
