Private Family Solicitor

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Family Solicitor to join a well-established private family law practice in Cheam that has built an outstanding reputation over the past decade. This is a firm where people are trusted to do their job, supported by a genuinely friendly team, and given the autonomy to develop their practice without unnecessary pressure.

The firm has a mature, down-to-earth culture with excellent staff retention and a collaborative approach. Work is allocated fairly on a rota basis, meaning everyone has the opportunity to build a successful caseload from day one. 

What's on offer?

• Full-time OR reduced hours considered
• Competitive salary with structured pay rises linked to billing performance
• Realistic billing expectations while your caseload grows
• 20 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, your birthday off, and an additional day over Christmas
• A supportive, friendly environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work
• The opportunity to be part of a successful and growing practice, with future expansion plans already being explored

You'll be joining a team of experienced fee earners and support staff, working on a broad range of privately funded family matters including:

• Divorce and financial remedy matters
• Private children work
• TOLATA claims
• Schedule 1 applications
• Cohabitation and pre/post-nuptial agreements

This role would suit a Solicitor with at least 4 years' PQE, although candidates with significant pre-qualification family law experience will also be considered.

This is an ideal opportunity for a Family Solicitor looking to join a firm that values quality over quantity, offers genuine work-life balance, and provides the freedom to build a long-term career in a supportive environment.
