Opportunity: Family Partner (High Net Worth)
Location: Poole | Hybrid Working
Salary: From £80,000 + Bonus (flexible on package for the right person)
This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior, visible Family Partner role within one of the most established and respected law firms in the region, following the planned retirement of a long-standing Partner.
The firm has a strong regional reputation, deep community roots and a loyal, high-quality client base spanning high-value matrimonial and complex financial work. You'll be joining a genuinely collaborative Family team based in modern Poole offices, with the autonomy, backing and infrastructure to truly shape the future of the practice.
The Opportunity:
Take ownership of a high-value Family caseload, with a particular focus on financial and general matrimonial matters.
Step into established, long-standing client relationships while continuing to grow your own profile locally.
Play a key role in leading and mentoring a small team of lawyers and support staff.
Be trusted to develop, promote and grow the Poole Family offering with real strategic input.
Enjoy hybrid working, while maintaining a strong presence within a close-knit, high-performing team.
This role would suit a Partner-level lawyer who wants influence, autonomy and longevity - not politics, red tape or unrealistic targets.

A clear and realistic route for progression.
Excellent mentoring and support from senior colleagues.
Freedom to build your practice your way.
A values-led culture where quality, integrity and reputation genuinely matter.
