What We’re Looking For

  • Qualified Solicitor with 2+ years’ PQE in Family law
  • Strong client care skills and a calm, professional approach
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • Good organisation and the ability to manage deadlines effectively
  • A collaborative mindset and interest in contributing to office growth

 

What’s On Offer

  • Flexible hybrid working (no split stated)
  • Capped billing hours to support a sustainable workload
  • Clear progression opportunities as the office continues to develop
  • Supportive, people-focused culture where ideas and initiative are encouraged
