  • Fast-track progression to Team Leader or Partner for those who want it

This is an exciting opportunity for a Private Family Partner to be part of a highly respected, boutique family law practice.

Known for its strong Legal 500 rankings, modern approach and outstanding work–life balance, you’ll play a key role in building its presence in a vibrant new market.

  • Full-time or part-time (minimum 3 days per week)

What you’ll be doing

  • Manage a caseload of private family law matters
  • Deliver commercially aware, client-centred advice
  • Build strong relationships and contribute to establishing the brand locally
  • Maintain accurate time recording and billing
  • Work within a national family team across Manchester, London and Leeds
  • Focus solely on fee earning — no BD, no advocacy
  • Participate in team video calls and receive remote support and mentoring

Salary & Benefits

  • £60,000–£90,000 depending on experience
  • 1 day per week in the Birmingham office (or once a fortnight/month depending on distance)
  • Option to work 4 days and get paid for 5
  • 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays (higher allowances possible depending on performance)
  • One-week Christmas shutdown
  • Hybrid/flexible working
  • Clear and fast progression
  • No BD and no advocacy – fully supported by marketing and a sales director
  • Highly modern, tech-forward firm
  • Senior pairing for support when working remotely
  • Strong wellbeing support, family-first culture
