Family Solicitor (Senior / Head of Family Department)
Join one of the fastest growing firms in the midlands
Juggling court deadlines, chasing team targets, and still carrying a full caseload?
Something’s got to give.
If you’re constantly firefighting urgent hearings, guiding stressed juniors, and drowning in admin, you’re not alone. Senior family lawyers are being pulled in every direction—expected to lead, bill, mentor, and grow the team—with little support and less time.
This firm is doing things differently.
Here, efficiency comes first:
* Modern systems reduce admin for you and your team
* Clear processes that support—not stifle—how you lead
* A culture that respects your time and sets realistic expectations
* You won’t be pushed to “do it all” without the infrastructure to back you. Instead, you’ll be trusted to lead with clarity and supported to succeed.
Why this opportunity stands out
* Digital-first systems – Say goodbye to paper-heavy processes
* Inherit an existing caseload and grow the department on your terms
* Dedicated BD support – No cold-calling or chasing work
* Real flexibility – 1–2 days WFH with the trust and tech to make it seamless
* Strong reputation – Rated 4.8 out of 5 from over 500 client reviews
* People-first culture – Regular socials, team events, and a sense of community that’s genuinely rare in law firms
This firm hasn't lost its human touch. You’ll be part of a team where people still know and support each other, and where a strong work ethic is matched by real appreciation and belonging.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll manage a busy private family law caseload—covering divorce, financial remedy, and Children Act matters—while leading and developing the department. You’ll supervise, mentor, and shape the team’s direction, with a strategic focus on financial work and client delivery.
What’s on offer
* Bonus: 10% annual performance bonus
* Holidays: 24 days + your birthday + bank holidays + Christmas closure
* Hybrid working: 1–2 days from home
* Support: CPD funding, regular pay reviews, efficient systems, and a healthy, no-politics culture
Who you are
You’ll likely be a Family Solicitor or Legal Executive with 5+ years PQE, confident in handling private family law and comfortable managing and growing a team.
We’re looking for someone who’s:
* Experienced in financial remedy work
* A supportive leader and positive team influence
* Commercially minded with a client-first approach
* Proactive and comfortable using legal tech
