  • Private Family Senior Associate role with a strong focus on high-net-worth work
  • Opportunity to play a key role in growing the family practice across Manchester
  • Legal 500 firm offering clear progression, flexibility, and a strong salary and benefits package

This is an excellent opportunity for a Private Family Senior Associate Solicitor to join a well-established, full-service law firm with a strong regional presence and a genuinely collaborative culture.

You’ll join a high-performing family team handling predominantly high-net-worth private family work, with plenty of high-quality instructions available from day one.

This is a role for someone with energy and ambition, someone who sees the growth story as a real opportunity and wants to help push the family practice forward.

Who we’re looking for

  • Private Family Solicitor with around 4 PQE
  • Strong experience in private family law, including financial remedy and divorce
  • Exposure to high-net-worth work and complex cases
  • Comfortable building a profile and presence locally
  • Good quality firm background (regional / Legal 500 rather than high street)
  • Ambitious, driven, and ready to take ownership of a growth opportunity

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing a private family caseload, with a strong emphasis on high-net-worth matters
  • Handling divorce, financial remedy and related private family work
  • Supporting the continued growth of the family practice in Chester
  • Working collaboratively within a growing family team
  • Contributing to the longer-term development of the department

There’s no heavy BD pressure, work is driven largely by firm reputation, but the right person will naturally enjoy building relationships and becoming known locally.

Salary & Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary
  • Clear, transparent career pathway with defined steps for progression
  • Hybrid working with 3 days in the office
  • 25–30 days’ holiday (increasing with seniority) plus bank holidays
  • Birthday day off
  • Volunteer days
  • Private medical insurance
  • 4% pension matched
  • Life assurance (3x salary)
  • Long-term sickness and critical illness cover
  • Extensive salary sacrifice options (cars, gym, etc.)
  • Strong CSR focus and supportive wellbeing culture
