This role is based in South Manchester (with flexibility to work from Chester if preferred) and comes at a pivotal time for the Family team.
In the first few months, you’ll take over an existing caseload and focus on embedding yourself into the team’s way of working. There’s strong support around you, but you’ll be trusted to take ownership early, building relationships with colleagues, clients and referrers while contributing positively during a period of change.
As things settle, the role becomes more expansive. You’ll run a full caseload of privately funded work, start to play a more visible role in business development, and (depending on level) support more junior lawyers. Over time, there’s real scope to help shape the direction of the team, whether that’s through developing a niche, strengthening key relationships, or stepping into leadership responsibilities.
The culture here is down-to-earth, professional and pragmatic. People work hard, but without ego or unnecessary pressure. There’s a focus on long-term relationships, both internally and with clients, and a recognition that good work comes from a sustainable, supportive environment.
If you’re looking for high-quality work with the chance to influence how a team evolves, this offers something far more involved than a typical lateral move.
