Competitive salary + bonus potential

Are you an experienced Family Law Solicitor ready to take the next step in your legal career? A well-established and highly regarded central Edinburgh firm is looking for a talented and confident solicitor or associate to join its growing Family Law department.

About the Role

You’ll be stepping into a key role in a thriving team of legal professionals specialising in family law. This is a unique opportunity to develop your career in a dynamic, client-focused environment that values integrity, professionalism and collaboration.

With a strong pipeline of work and a respected reputation across the sector, the department is looking for someone who can independently manage a varied caseload – including complex financial provision and high net worth cases – while playing an active part in the team’s continued growth and success.

What We’re Looking For:

• Be a qualified solicitor with around 5+ years’ post-qualifying experience in family law.
• Have a solid working knowledge of Sheriff Court procedures (Court of Session experience is a bonus).
• Be confident handling financial provision and complex family law matters with minimal supervision.
• Be a strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills and a client-first mindset.
• Ideally hold (or be willing to pursue) accreditation as a specialist in family law.
• Be proactive, enthusiastic and personable – someone who builds rapport easily and contributes positively to the wider team.

Why Join Us?

• A competitive salary at the upper end of the market, with bonus potential based on performance.
• Flexible and hybrid working options to support work-life balance.
• Clear opportunities for career progression and partnership potential for the right candidate.
• A supportive and collegiate team culture in a respected, boutique legal practice.
• Central Edinburgh location with modern offices and excellent support infrastructure.
