Family Solicitor

A friendly and well-established small law firm is looking to recruit a full-time Matrimonial Solicitor or experienced Family Fee Earner to join its close-knit team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is confident managing their own matrimonial caseload and is looking for a role where they can come in, take ownership of their files and really make the role their own.

The firm is open to both qualified solicitors and experienced non-qualified fee earners. If you have the experience and confidence to manage your own files, deal directly with clients and run matters through to completion, they would be very interested in hearing from you.

The Role

You will take responsibility for your own caseload of matrimonial matters, working closely with clients and providing a friendly, practical and professional service.

The firm has a strong emphasis on face-to-face client contact, alongside regular telephone communication, so this role would suit someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships with clients.

You will be joining a small team of just three solicitors, meaning you will have plenty of autonomy and responsibility. They are looking for someone who can come in and hit the ground running, take ownership of their files and become a valued member of the team.

What's Great About the Role?

• Your own office - no hot-desking!
• One-to-one legal secretarial support
• Your own caseload with the autonomy to run with your files
• A genuinely friendly and supportive team
• Strong face-to-face client contact
• Traditional office environment with individual rooms
• One Advanced case management system
• Opportunity for a non-qualified fee earner to join if they have the right experience
• A role where you can make a real impact within a small team

About You

The firm is looking for someone who:

• Has solid experience handling matrimonial/family matters
• Can confidently manage their own caseload
• Is able to take a file from instruction through to conclusion
• Has excellent client management and communication skills
• Enjoys face-to-face client contact
• Is competent, organised and able to work with a good degree of autonomy
• Has a friendly, approachable and collaborative personality
• Can work well within a small team environment

You do not necessarily need to be a qualified solicitor. An experienced non-qualified Family Fee Earner who is confident running their own caseload is very welcome to apply.

The Firm

This is a small, friendly law firm with a traditional and personal approach to client service.

You'll have your own office, dedicated one-to-one legal secretarial support and the autonomy to manage your own files, while still having the support of a close-knit team around you.

The firm uses One Advanced as its case management system and places real importance on personal service, face-to-face meetings and building strong relationships with clients.

Salary & Package

• Salary up to £55,000, depending on experience
• Full-time position
• Own office
• One-to-one legal secretarial support
• Genuine autonomy over your own caseload
• Friendly, collaborative working environment
• Qualified and non-qualified candidates considered

If you're an experienced Matrimonial Solicitor or Family Fee Earner looking for a role where you can have your own office, your own files, dedicated support and the freedom to get on with your work, this could be a really good fit.
