An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Family Solicitor to join a respected boutique family law practice. This role offers the chance to manage a stimulating caseload of privately funded family finance matters within a collaborative and supportive environment, with strong potential for career progression.
The Role
You will manage and develop your own caseload of complex family matters, with support from junior colleagues. Work will primarily focus on financial cases for privately funded clients, including divorce and financial remedy proceedings, relationship breakdown, cohabitation and civil partnership matters, Children Act applications, and high‑value or complex financial disputes. Key responsibilities include acting for clients in privately funded financial matters, building and maintaining a strong professional network, supporting and mentoring junior members of the team, participating in marketing and business development activities, and providing cover and assistance to colleagues as needed.
About You
You will have 5+ years' PQE in privately funded family law, though more experienced solicitors are encouraged to apply. You will have a strong background in financial matters arising from relationship breakdown, be confident in managing your own caseload independently, and be dynamic, proactive, and commercially aware. Excellent communication, client care, and relationship‑building skills are essential, along with enthusiasm for networking and developing new business opportunities.
What's on Offer
A competitive salary of £55,000‑£60,000, flexible working arrangements including home/office balance, and options for part‑time or condensed hours. The firm offers a supportive and collaborative culture, high‑quality case management systems, strong administrative support, and clear opportunities for progression within a specialist practice. The workplace is committed to equal opportunities and fostering an inclusive environment.
About the Firm
A boutique firm undertaking a mix of privately funded and legally aided work with a strong reputation for excellence and a supportive working culture. The private family department includes solicitors who are members of the Family Law Advanced Panel, Children Panel, Resolution, and ICACU. The team handles child abduction, financial remedy cases, civil partnership separations, nuptial agreements, cohabitation disputes, and complex child arrangement matters.
