Are you a Family Solicitor looking to take the next step in your career within a highly respected and award-winning team?


An excellent opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Associate to join a well-established Family department recognised for its high-quality work and supportive culture. Working alongside experienced Partners and Senior Associates, you'll gain exposure to a broad range of complex and rewarding family matters while enjoying genuine opportunities for progression and professional development.


This role offers excellent client contact from day one, allowing you to manage your own caseload while supporting on high-value and technically challenging matters. You'll join a collaborative team that prides itself on delivering exceptional client service and building long-lasting client relationships.


The Role

You'll advise clients across a varied caseload of private family matters, including:


  • Financial remedy proceedings
  • Private children disputes

Alongside managing your own matters, you'll work closely with senior lawyers on more complex cases, helping to deliver practical, commercial and client-focused solutions.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Managing a varied caseload of family law matters from instruction through to conclusion
  • Advising clients on financial remedy and private children proceedings
  • Preparing court applications, witness statements, financial disclosure and other legal documentation
  • Supporting Partners on complex and cross-border family matters
  • Instructing and liaising with counsel, experts and other professional advisers
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships, delivering exceptional levels of client care
  • Ensuring accurate file management, time recording and billing
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider business
  • Contributing to business development through networking, marketing initiatives, articles, podcasts and industry events


The successful candidate will be an experienced Family Solicitor with a solid grounding in both financial and children work. You'll be confident managing your own caseload while also enjoying working as part of a collaborative team on more complex matters.


You'll also have:

  • Strong technical knowledge of private family law
  • Ideally 3 years' PQE in private Family Law
  • Excellent communication and drafting skills
  • A proactive, organised and solutions-focused approach
  • Outstanding client care and relationship management skills
  • A genuine interest in business development and helping to grow the department
