THE ROLE:
You will take ownership of a varied caseload of private family law matters, working with a good level of autonomy while still benefiting from senior support where needed. Your work will include advising clients on divorce, financial arrangements and children related matters, as well as handling more complex issues such as cohabitation disputes and nuptial agreements.

A calm and empathetic approach is key, alongside the confidence to guide clients through often challenging circumstances.
