Flexible or hybrid working arrangements available
following an initial onboarding period.

Comprehensive Benefits Package:

Enjoy a competitive salary, excellent
holiday package, enhanced sick pay, free onsite parking, employee referral


scheme, employee discounts, pension scheme, and ongoing training for


continued development.

What We're Looking For:

Experience:

A minimum of 5 years' PQE with a strong background in private
family law, particularly divorce and financial remedy work.

Caseload Management:

The ability to manage a busy caseload confidently
and independently, handling everything from divorce and financial settlements


to children matters.

Advocacy Skills:

Advocacy experience is required, as you will be expected to
represent clients in court as part of the role.

Client Care:

Exceptional client care and communication skills, with a focus on
providing compassionate and professional legal advice.

Proven Success:

Proven success in achieving fee income targets and
delivering results in a dynamic legal environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and ambitious solicitor to make a real


impact within a growing team. If you're looking to progress your career in a firm that


values its people and supports long-term development, we encourage you to apply.
