Job description

Care Solicitor | Tier 1, Legal 500 Team | Liverpool

Are you a dedicated care solicitor who is looking to be part of a forward-thinking and modern team? If so, this opportunity is for you.

The Firm

This prestigious firm is headed up by one of the country's most experienced and well-respected family law specialists. The practice has built an enviable reputation in the market and is the go-to firm not just for high-net-worth matrimonial work but for complex children and care work, too. In fact, they are one of the only firms in the area to specialise in all aspects of family work.

Collaborative working is a big part of the culture at this practice. Seniors in the team work directly with junior lawyers, creating a perfect learning environment and meaning that their people are technically far more advanced than their peers in other firms.

Career progression isn't just a buzzword here, either. As a part of this team, you will be encouraged to build on your own practice through networking and building your Guardian relationships. The managing partner even takes the time to personally sit down with each person in the practice to map out how to achieve their goals on a quarterly basis - it is a real team effort.

The Role

The firm is now seeking a Care Solicitor to join their Liverpool office.

• Team: You will join a wider team in the North-West, including multiple Partners and Senior Associates - highly experienced people to support you
• Reason for hire: Expansion, as there is lots of work coming into the team which has enabled them to recently expand into Liverpool
• Culture: Forward-thinking, collaborative and supportive - progress whilst playing to your own strengths
• The Work: You will work on a caseload of care matters whilst building your own Guardian relationships further

Why This Role Stands Out

• Visibility in the market: This firm is very well-known and has well-established Guardian relationships and plenty of work coming in
• Career progression: This role is ideal for a Solicitor or Associate seeking a clear route to Senior Associateship and beyond, due to the work you will be exposed to, and the support for development on offer
• Flexibility: This is a rare opportunity to have great flexibility with hybrid working whilst not losing out on work quality and career progression

What The Team Is Looking For

• Care solicitor with 3+ PQE
• Experience in the empathy and soft skills needed to effectively manage care matters
• Willingness to build Guardian relationships

What's On Offer?

• Salary of £40k+, tailored to your experience level
• Support for ongoing career progression
• Genuine flexibility

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly-ranked family-specialist firm, and propel your career to a new level. If you are interested in hearing more about this, please give me a call on 07441937615.
