We are looking for a Partner to join our Family Team in Southampton. The role requires stewardship of the team and development of a personal caseload of high‑value, complex family matters.
Day to Day
The Southampton Family Team comprises one Partner, one Senior Associate and one Solicitor. The Partner will lead the team, supervise and grow its capabilities, and manage their own cases of high‑value, complex family matters. The role supports a healthy work‑life balance and the firm’s culture of “human first.”

What We Look For
* A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with significant experience in family law, including financial matters and complex children disputes, often with an international element.
* Experience managing or contributing to the management of a successful family team.
* Strong business development skills and the ability to grow the department.
* Confidence supervising fee‑earners and support staff.
* Leadership in the Resolution Code of Practice.
* Accreditation from the Law Society and/or Resolution is advantageous.

* Excellent communication skills, client‑focused mindset, and creativity.
* Full‑time commitment with flexible working arrangements (home and office).
What We Offer
Our culture is open, diverse and inclusive. We provide:
* 28 days’ annual leave, private medical insurance, income protection, life assurance, firm‑wide bonus scheme and a generous pension scheme.
