Senior Family Solicitor / Associate – High-Net-Worth Private Client Work
This is an opportunity to join a respected family law team where you’ll be trusted to run high-quality work with genuine autonomy, direct support, and the freedom to focus on achieving the best outcomes for your clients.
You’ll work closely with experienced leadership on complex, high-net-worth matters involving business interests, pensions, inherited wealth, and sensitive financial disputes — while benefiting from a collaborative, supportive environment that values quality over volume.
For an experienced family lawyer looking for stimulating work without unnecessary bureaucracy or micromanagement, this is a rare opportunity to build your reputation within a well-established and growing practice.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of a varied caseload of complex private family matters, including:
1. High-value financial remedy cases
2. Contested applications and hearings
3. Business and asset protection matters
4. Cases involving pensions, inherited wealth, and pre-acquired assets
5. Urgent applications, including freezing injunctions where required
You’ll have the autonomy to manage your matters from start to finish, while enjoying direct access to experienced senior support whenever needed.
This role would suit someone who enjoys advocacy, values strong client relationships, and wants to work in an environment where expertise and sound judgement are genuinely respected.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
6. Genuine autonomy with trusted support from experienced leadership
7. High-quality HNW work without a volume-driven culture
8. Direct client contact and the ability to make a real impact
9. A collaborative, down-to-earth team environment
10. Hybrid working and flexibility
11. The opportunity to mentor and support junior lawyers in a meaningful way
12. A firm that values long-term relationships, excellent client care, and sustainable growth
About You
You will be a qualified solicitor with strong experience in private family law and financial remedy work.
You’ll likely have experience advising on:
13. Complex financial settlements
14. Business assets and company interests
15. Pension-related matters
16. Inherited and pre-marital assets
17. Contested hearings and advocacy
Equally important is your approach — organised, commercially aware, empathetic with clients, and confident managing sensitive matters with professionalism and care.
If you enjoy building trusted relationships, taking ownership of your work, and contributing to a supportive team culture, this role offers an excellent next step.
The Environment
This is a firm that combines high standards with a genuinely supportive and collaborative culture. You’ll be trusted to work independently, encouraged to develop professionally, and supported by people who value quality legal work and strong client outcomes over unnecessary hierarchy.
Competitive salary, bonus structure, hybrid working, and long-term progression opportunities are all on offer for the right person.
