Family Lawyer

Our client is excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Family Lawyer or Solicitor to join their friendly, supportive and forward-thinking Family team.

This is a firm that genuinely cares about the service it provides and takes real pride in delivering high-quality support to its clients. Just as importantly, our client is proud of its welcoming and inclusive culture, built around the core values of being Open, Responsible and Fair. The successful candidate will share these values and enjoy working collaboratively as part of a busy and close-knit Family department.

The firm offers the chance to grow and thrive within a practice that combines strong values with a rich history. Although the role is office-based, flexibility is very much part of the culture. Our client offers hybrid working (typically two days in the office and three from home), flexible start and finish times where preferred, and a genuinely attractive benefits package. This includes a competitive salary, generous annual leave, a firmwide bonus scheme, an individual performance bonus scheme (without unattainable targets!), and private health insurance after one year of service, along with a range of additional benefits. There are also active Culture and Charity teams that organise social events and initiatives throughout the year, with plenty of opportunity to get involved as much or as little as you like.

Ideally, candidates will have 2–4 years’ PQE, although our client is very happy to hear from more experienced Family lawyers too. In keeping with their flexible approach, applications from those seeking part-time or alternative working patterns are warmly welcomed. The successful candidate will have strong drafting and communication skills, along with the confidence and professionalism to manage clients with care and sensitivity. Membership of Resolution, or a willingness to join and follow its Code of Practice, is important and reflects the firm’s constructive approach to resolving matters. Experience of ADR as well as court proceedings would be advantageous.

You will have your own caseload, supported by appropriate supervision and full administrative assistance. The team advises on a wide range of private family matters, including cases involving complex issues and mid- to high-net-worth finances. Above all, our client is committed to helping people build long-term, fulfilling careers, and is very open to supporting further development or special interests within Family law.
