  • Step into an Associate role from day one in a genuinely family-friendly firm
  • Join a close-knit team where flexibility is lived, not just talked about
  • Build your career around quality private family work, not presenteeism

What if you didn’t have to choose between being a great lawyer and having a life outside work?

This role has been created for a very specific reason: to protect existing team members’ non-working days while supporting a growing workload. It’s a reflection of a firm that genuinely puts people first and has built a culture where lawyers can thrive professionally without sacrificing family life or personal commitments.

You’ll join a collaborative, female-led team handling quality private family work, working alongside experienced practitioners who are happy to share knowledge, support development and celebrate each other’s successes.

Who we’re looking for

  • 2–6 PQE Family Solicitor
  • Experience managing your own divorce and financial remedy caseload
  • Ability to run matters with minimal supervision
  • Children law and domestic abuse experience (Desired)
  • Strong client care and relationship management skills
  • Comfortable getting involved in networking and business development (Desired)
  • Friendly, approachable and collaborative personality
  • Someone who enjoys being part of a team rather than working in isolation


What you’ll be doing

  • Managing a mixed private family caseload
  • Advising on divorce and financial remedy matters
  • Handling children and domestic abuse cases
  • Supporting on more complex financial remedy work
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships
  • Working closely with colleagues on shared matters
  • Contributing to networking and business development activities


Salary & Benefits

  • Potential personal and firm-wide bonus schemes
  • Hybrid working (typically 3 days office / 2 days home)
  • Option for a 4-day week (excluding Fridays)
  • Genuine flexibility around childcare and personal commitments
  • Associate title from day one where appropriate
  • Clear progression to Senior Associate level
  • Support with accreditations, training and conferences
  • 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Christmas closure (not deducted from annual leave)
  • Healthcare cash plan
  • Salary sacrifice pension
  • Regular team socials and celebrations
  • Supportive, people-first culture with strong retention
