This is a genuinely rare opportunity for a Private Family Associate Solicitor to join a growing, values-driven firm in Preston, where client care comes before billings and lawyers are trusted to do the job properly.
You’ll step into a role with an existing private family caseload, supported by a highly experienced senior family lawyer, with the freedom to shape how the department develops over time.
The firm works with emotionally vulnerable clients and prioritises accessibility, empathy and reassurance, making this ideal for someone who wants meaningful work without the usual pressures of targets and corporate politics.
Who we’re looking for
What you’ll be doing
There are no billing targets, no pressure to upsell, and no expectation to chase volume. The focus is on quality, care and sustainability.
