Family Solicitor | 1 PQE | Bristol An opportunity for a junior family lawyer to join one of the UK's most respected family law teams as it establishes its presence in Bristol. This is a chance to get in early, working directly with senior lawyers from a nationally recognised practice and helping shape the direction of a growing Family team. What You'll Be Doing Joining a newly formed Bristol team led by an experienced partner, working on a diverse mix of financial, children and relationship matters for both high-net-worth and professional clients. Managing your own caseload while collaborating with senior lawyers across the firm's wider national team, known for combining top-tier quality with a personal, grounded approach. Handling matters including divorce, financial settlements, nuptial agreements, cohabitation, and children cases, often with cross-office support from colleagues in other regions. Playing a key role in the team's early growth, helping to build client relationships, supporting business development, and establishing a local presence backed by the infrastructure of a national firm. About You A qualified family solicitor, likely with 1 PQE, who enjoys both the human and strategic sides of family practice. You combine solid technical grounding with empathy, communication skills, and a thoughtful approach to client care. You're looking for a setting where you can grow quickly, take responsibility early, and be part of a small, developing team with the backing of a larger practice. An interest in private wealth or complex financial work would be an advantage, though equally valuable is a genuine commitment to building long-term relationships and trusted client partnerships. What's On Offer The support and structure of a well-established national firm, with access to dedicated training programmes, mentoring, and national supervision from senior family partners. A people culture that values wellbeing and personal growth as much as performance. Lawyers describe the environment as open, trusting, and down-to-earth, with regular feedback, realistic targets, and visible career progression. Hybrid working, modern systems, and the resources of a large firm without losing the close-knit, collaborative feel that comes with a smaller local team. A real chance to help shape something new: the Bristol team is expanding, the work pipeline is growing, and those who join now will have a clear voice in how the practice develops. The Firm This national firm has a long-standing reputation for quality, collaboration, and forward-thinking client service. It combines the scale and infrastructure of a top-tier practice with a culture that feels refreshingly human. Diversity, mentoring, and professional development are woven into its structure, and the firm's people consistently cite its open, inclusive approach and emphasis on balance as key reasons they stay and thrive.
