One of Manchester’s most respected law firms is looking to expand their Private Family Solicitor. This award-winning firm prides itself on its reputation for making a positive difference.

As the Private Family Solicitor, you’ll be given the opportunity to manage your caseload with some support, work closely with the Head of Department, and develop your advocacy skills. You will play a pivotal role in helping the firm by handling a variety of cases, including finance, children matters, domestic violence, cohabitation disputes, and pre and post-nuptial agreements.

We’re seeking an NQ-5 PQE Solicitor with a background in private and legal aid work, with good subject matter knowledge and case handling skills. You will need to be a friendly, supportive, and open team player working closely with a smaller team, where you will be a valued member rather than ‘just a number’.

In return, you’ll enjoy a competitive salary, the flexibility to work two days from home, a supportive work environment, opportunities to progress your career, and free parking.

If you’re looking for the opportunity to accelerate your career within a firm which values making a positive difference to its community, whilst also promoting a positive work-life balance, then this is the opportunity for you.
