Family Solicitor to join our Chester Office

Slater Heelis is a leading full-service law firm with a rich history of providing exceptional legal services to clients across the UK. As we continue to expand and grow with the support of Lawfront, we are seeking a motivated and talented solicitor to support our dynamic team.

From roots and history based in Manchester, we are known for our client-centric approach, professional integrity, and a commitment to excellence and we are excited to be able to bring this level of service and expertise as we open our new office in Chester.

As such we’re looking for an experienced Senior Family Solicitor to lead this expansion. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected, full-service law firm with a strong regional presence and a reputation for excellence in family law.

The Role – Senior Solicitor

You’ll be a key figure in establishing and growing our Family Law offering in Chester, working alongside an already well-established and highly renowned regional team. We’re seeking someone who combines legal expertise with emotional intelligence, and who thrives on delivering outstanding client care during life’s most challenging moments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a varied caseload of family law matters including divorce, financial remedies, children issues, and cohabitation disputes
  • Provide strategic input into the development of the Chester office
  • Build and nurture client relationships with empathy and professionalism
  • Support junior team members and contribute to a collaborative team culture
  • Engage in networking and business development to grow the department

What we’re looking for

  • A qualified solicitor with significant experience in family law
  • Strong technical knowledge across all areas of private family work
  • Excellent communication and client-handling skills
  • A proactive, empathetic approach to sensitive matters
  • Ideally, a local network and the ability to help grow the Chester presence
  • Experience mentoring junior colleagues is a plus

Why Join Slater Heelis?

  • A well-established, full-service law firm with a strong regional presence
  • Supportive leadership and a genuinely collaborative culture
  • Flexible hybrid working across Manchester, Sale, Chester and home
  • Competitive salary, bonus scheme, and comprehensive benefits
  • A real opportunity to shape and grow a high-performing department
