Family Solicitor 5 years PQE+
£ competitive depending on PQE
SE London, hybrid working and excellent working culture
A highly regarded, long‑established South London practice is seeking an experienced Family Solicitor (5+ PQE) to join its thriving team of six fee‑earners. This is a genuinely supportive, down‑to‑earth firm with a reputation for high‑quality work, strong values, and excellent staff retention.
The Role
You will handle a purely private family law caseload, working across:
* Divorce and financial remedy
* Private children matters
* Cohabitation and separation agreements
* Pre‑ and post‑nuptial agreements
You will be joining a friendly, collaborative team where everyone supports each other, and where your contribution will be genuinely valued.
What Makes This Firm Stand Out
* Warm, people‑focused culture – a firm where staff stay long‑term because they’re treated well.
* Strong, established family department – you will be part of a respected team of six fee‑earners.
* High‑quality private work – no legal aid, no mixed caseloads.
* Real progression opportunities – the firm actively supports development and internal growth.
* Excellent supervision and collaboration – you will work alongside experienced specialists who enjoy sharing knowledge.
About You
* 5+ years PQE in Family Law
* Experience exclusively in private family matters
* Confident managing your own caseload
* Strong client‑care skills and a constructive, solution‑focused approach
* Team‑oriented mindset and willingness to contribute to a positive working environment
If you’re looking for a role where you can handle high‑quality private family work in a genuinely supportive and well‑run firm, this is an excellent opportunity.
