Open to fully remote working with occasional time spent in the Manchester office, this role is designed for a family solicitor who wants proper flexibility without compromising on the quality of work.
You’ll step into an already busy team with a steady flow of privately funded work, including complex financial and children matters with an international edge. In your first few months, the focus is on taking ownership of that caseload, getting to grips with the firm’s systems and contributing to the growing stream of referrals and online enquiries.
As you settle in, you’ll start shaping your own space within the team, whether that’s building a niche, developing a specialism (international work, children, surrogacy), or strengthening your own reputation in the market. Business development is expected, but it’s not forced; most work comes from strong inbound demand and referrals.
Longer term, this is a role where you can genuinely grow. You’ll become a key part of a team that’s expanding deliberately (not reactively), with the opportunity to mentor others, influence how things are done and progress through a clear pathway if that’s what you want.
The culture is what makes this place different. It’s down-to-earth, open and genuinely supportive. There’s a high level of trust, people are given autonomy, but they’re also backed by a team that shares ideas, discusses cases openly and looks out for each other.
If you’re looking for high-quality work without the rigidity of traditional firms, this is one of the few roles that genuinely delivers both.
