  • Work on high value family matters from an early stage, not years down the line
  • Collaborative, non-hierarchical team where high-quality work is shared, not guarded
  • Clear progression, full admin support and a realistic route to building your own reputation

This is an excellent opportunity for a Family Solicitor who wants exposure to genuinely high-quality work without the rigid hierarchy or corporate culture that often comes with it.

Based across Cheshire, you’ll join a close-knit specialist family team handling a broad mix of private children, divorce and finance matters, including complex HNW and UHNW cases. The team is seeing a significant increase in private children work, creating a real opportunity for someone who wants to build expertise and profile in this area while still maintaining a varied caseload.

From the outset, you’ll run your own files while supporting senior lawyers on larger and more complex matters. Unlike many firms where premium work stays firmly at partner level, this team works collaboratively, meaning you’ll gain meaningful exposure to high-value cases much earlier than you typically would elsewhere.

The culture is one of the biggest selling points. The environment is down-to-earth, supportive and genuinely team-focused, with no egos or overly corporate personalities. People work closely together on cases, share ideas openly and support each other professionally and personally. It’s a place where attitude and ambition matter more than titles.

Longer term, there’s clear scope to progress quickly, supervise junior lawyers and carve out your own specialism while building your reputation in the market.

Who we’re looking for

  • Qualified Family Solicitor with experience managing private family law matters
  • Comfortable running cases independently or ready to step into that level with support
  • Experience handling divorce, financial remedy and private children matters
  • Comfortable working in a busy, fast-moving environment
  • Strong client care and communication skills
  • Collaborative, down-to-earth and approachable personality
  • Ambitious and motivated to progress without being ego-driven
  • Experience supervising junior team members is beneficial (Desired)
  • Interest in business development and networking (Desired)
  • Private children experience highly desirable (Desired)

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing your own family law caseload
  • Handling a mix of private children, divorce and finance matters
  • Supporting senior lawyers on HNW and UHNW cases
  • Meeting clients and conducting initial consultations
  • Attending networking events and supporting business development activity
  • Contributing to blogs and wider marketing content where appropriate
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues on larger matters
  • Supporting and eventually mentoring junior team members

Salary & Benefits

  • 20% bonus on anything billed above target
  • Exposure to £1m–£20m family matters
  • Full secretarial support with minimal admin burden
  • Structured progression pathway with regular appraisals and quarterly check-ins
  • Private health insurance
  • 25 days holiday plus birthday leave and Christmas Eve
  • Holiday allowance increases with service up to 30 days
  • Flexible working hours available
  • Part-time considered (4 days)
  • 1 day working from home post-probation
  • Regular social events, lunches and team-building activities
  • Strong internal training and skills workshops
