Job description

Hybrid Working - Legal 500 Firm

Ready to lead, inspire and make your mark?

Our client is looking for an ambitious Family Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with 3 years + PQE to head up and help grow their expanding Family team in Leeds. If you're looking for the next step in your career with a firm that genuinely invests in its people, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Whether you're already supervising a team or you're ready to take that step into leadership, you'll find plenty of support, autonomy and opportunity here.

You'll manage your own varied caseload while playing a key role in mentoring and developing a growing team. Your workload is likely to include:

  • Care Proceedings and PLO matters
  • Divorce and financial remedy work
  • Private Children matters
  • Domestic Abuse, Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders
  • Cohabitation disputes and wider Family law matters

Advocacy experience is welcomed, and you'll be encouraged to continue developing your expertise.

Our client is looking for someone who can confidently hit the ground running and enjoys building both client relationships and successful teams.

You'll ideally have:

  • At least 3 years' PQE as a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive
  • Strong experience across Family and Childcare law
  • A solid understanding of Legal Aid work
  • Previous supervisory or leadership experience, or the ambition to step into a leadership role
  • The confidence to undertake your own advocacy
  • A proactive approach to networking and business development
  • A client following (advantageous but not essential)
  • An interest in working towards Panel Accreditation

This is more than just another Family law role. It's an opportunity to join a modern, forward-thinking Legal 500 practice where lawyers are trusted to do what they do best.

You'll benefit from:

  • Hybrid working with genuine flexibility
  • A fully paperless office with modern technology
  • A collaborative and supportive multi-office team
  • Ongoing training, mentoring and clear career progression
  • Dedicated administrative, billing and client support teams, allowing you to focus on your clients instead of chasing invoices or answering every incoming call
  • Dictation and secretarial support to help maximise your time

Alongside a competitive salary, you'll enjoy an excellent benefits package including:

  • Performance-related bonus and profit-sharing opportunities
  • 28 days' annual leave, plus Bank Holidays, Christmas and New Year closure AND your birthday off
  • Additional annual leave with length of service
  • Employer pension contributions
  • Healthcare provision
  • Hybrid working with laptop and mobile phone
  • Cycle to Work Scheme
  • Annual salary reviews and appraisals
  • Ongoing professional development and funded training
  • Supportive mentoring and supervision
  • Summer and Christmas social events
  • Additional employee perks and wellbeing benefits

If you're looking for a role where your leadership will be recognised, your career can continue to grow, and you'll be part of a genuinely supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.
