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 24 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 firms 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.....Read more...
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Private Client Lawyer or Solicitor to join a thriving, forward-thinking Private Client team where expertise is valued and people truly matter.
This is a practice renowned for delivering exceptional client service with genuine care and attention. Quality is never compromised, and relationships are built on trust, professionalism and integrity. At the heart of the firms success is a welcoming, inclusive culture shaped by three clear principles: being Open, Responsible and Fair. The successful candidate will share these values and enjoy working collaboratively within a busy, supportive and highly respected department.
With a rich history and a progressive outlook, the firm offers more than just a role it offers a place to grow. Lawyers here are empowered to develop their careers within a culture that invests in training, encourages progression and celebrates achievement. While the position is primarily office-based, flexibility is embedded in the working environment. Hybrid working (typically two days in the office and three from home), flexible start and finish times, and a healthy work-life balance are all part of the package. For this position, they can also consider candidates that are looking for 4 OR 5 days per week.
The benefits are equally impressive. Alongside a competitive salary, the successful candidate will enjoy generous annual leave, a firmwide bonus scheme, an individual performance bonus scheme, and private health insurance after one year of service, plus a range of additional benefits. Active Culture and Charity teams organise social events and initiatives throughout the year, offering opportunities to get involved and feel part of something bigger.
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of two years PQE and demonstrate strong drafting, analytical and communication skills, alongside a commitment to delivering outstanding client service. Confidence in managing a varied caseload independently is essential, supported by a dedicated administrative team across two offices. Flexibility to attend a second office approximately 10 miles away on occasion is required, so a driving licence and access to a vehicle are necessary.
Qualification as a Trust & Estate Practitioner (STEP), or a willingness to undertake the qualification, is highly desirable. The firm has a strong track record of supporting professional development and investing in its peoples success.
For a Private Client lawyer seeking a role where values matter, careers are nurtured, and excellence is the standard, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
