Private Family Solicitor

Apply now
  • Step into a busy private family team with more enquiries than they can currently service
  • Quality private work only – divorce, finance, private children and TOLATA matters
  • Hybrid flexibility, strong administrative support and a genuinely collaborative culture

Some family law teams talk about being supportive. Others actually live it.

Here, you’ll join a close-knit team where everyone pulls together when workloads are high, celebrates successes together, and genuinely enjoys working with one another. 

There’s a real need for someone who can take ownership of a private family caseload and help convert the steady stream of enquiries already coming through the door.

You’ll inherit work, not pressure to generate it.

  • Able to manage a private family caseload with minimal supervision 
  • Experience in divorce, financial remedy, private children and TOLATA matters
  • Strong advocacy skills and confidence conducting your own hearings
  • Excellent client care and lead conversion skills 
  • Business development experience (Desired)
  • Selfless, approachable and collaborative personality
  • Someone who can work hard, have a laugh and support the wider team


What you’ll be doing

  • Managing a privately funded family caseload from start to finish
  • Converting and progressing existing enquiries
  • Handling divorce, finance, private children and TOLATA matters
  • Conducting your own advocacy
  • Delivering excellent client care throughout
  • Working closely with the wider family team and support staff


Salary & Benefits

  • Hybrid working with up to 2 days from home
  • Bonus scheme
  • Birthday off
  • 22 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Additional Christmas closure
  • Pension scheme
  • Shared secretarial support
  • Emerging leaders programme
