Private Family Associate Solicitor

• Opportunities for partnership
• Work from home two days per week
• Family law boutique
• Highly reputable Cheshire market firm

Due to growth, we are helping a highly respected family law boutique in South Manchester recruit for a Private Family Solicitor with at least four years’ experience to join at Associate or Senior Associate level.

Your mission will be to come in and plug the gap between the most senior and most junior members of the team, hit the ground running on an existing caseload of work, and bring additional expertise and gravitas to this close-knit team of five.

For this reason, there is huge scope for progression, including promotion to Partner in the mid-term. You’ll also be able to work from home two days per week.

You’ll manage a reasonable caseload of mixed private family matters for a HNW Cheshire client base. Most of the team’s work is generated via reputation, referrer relationships, and word of mouth referrals.

The role would suit someone whose development is currently blocked at their current firm, wants to work for a family law boutique, or who would simply prefer a more pivotal position in a smaller team.

The firm will also consider applicants looking for a reduced-hours contract of four days per week.
