Role Description
We are looking to recruit a Family lawyer to join our friendly, forward-thinking team. Ideally you will be 2- 4 years PQE, have excellent drafting and communication skills, plus an ability to manage clients confidently and professionally. You will be a member of Resolution, or at least willing to join and adopt the code, as this is important to us and how we seek to resolve matters. Exposure to forms of ADR as well as court proceedings would be advantageous.
We pride ourselves on a high quality of service for our clients. You will have your own caseload, with appropriate supervision and full administrative support. We cover a range of private family matters including some with complex issues and/or mid-high net worth finances.
We are proud of our welcoming and supportive culture, which is based on our values of being Open, Responsible and Fair. The right candidate will also be committed to these values and be able to work as a team within our busy Family department.
We can offer you the opportunity to thrive as part of a forward-thinking firm with strong values and a rich history. Whilst the role is office based, we do offer flexible working and you will have the opportunity to work remotely from home.
We also offer a competitive salary, generous annual leave entitlement, firmwide bonus scheme, individual performance bonus scheme, private health insurance after one year of service, plus other benefits.
We have a Culture team and Charity team that arrange various events and social gatherings throughout the year and you can get involved with these as much as you wish.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
