THE ROLE

You will join an established family department, managing your own mixed caseload of private family matters, including divorce and financial remedy work, private children matters and domestic abuse cases. The role will involve handling a combination of Legal Aid and privately funded work, offering exposure to a broad range of matters and the opportunity to develop your experience across different areas of family law.
