Job description

Private Family Solicitor | Legal 500 Team | Work from home 4 days per week

Family Solicitors: Read on to find out more about an opportunity to gain exposure to complex, high-net-worth private family work and develop your practice further whilst enjoying ultimate flexibility.

The Firm

This well-known firm is headed up by a highly experienced and well-respected family law specialist. The practice has built a fantastic reputation in the market and is the go-to firm for all manner of high-net-worth individuals and their families.

Collaborative working is a big part of the culture at this practice. Seniors in the team work directly with junior lawyers on a wide range of work. This learning environment means 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 take on more complex work and really develop your experience long-term. The practice has attracted a number of senior solicitors from other highly firms across the North-West, down to the sheer amount of career potential they offer.

The Role

The firm is now seeking a Family Solicitor to join their Manchester office.

• Team: A wider team of over 20 Solicitors, including multiple Partners and Senior Associates – highly experienced people to support you
• Reason for hire: Expansion, as there is a lot of high-quality work coming into the team which is showing no signs of slowing down
• Culture: Forward-thinking, collaborative and supportive
• The Work: You will work on a caseload of privately funded matrimonial matters, including HNW and UHNW matters

Why This Role Stands Out

• Quality of work: This firm is very well-known and highly-ranked in the market, and is the go-to practice for a large range of HNW individuals and their families
• Career progression: This role is ideal for an Associate seeking a clear route to Senior Associateship and beyond, due to the quality of work you will be exposed to, and the support for development on offer
• Flexibility: This is a rare opportunity to have great flexibility, enjoying 4 days working from home whilst not losing out on work quality and career progression

What The Team Is Looking For

• Matrimonial solicitor with 4+ PQE
• Experience in managing privately funded work including finances and children matters

What's On Offer?

• Salary of £50k+, tailored to your experience level
• Exposure to high quality work and support for ongoing career progression
• Genuine flexibility

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly-ranked firm which is a key player in the family market, and propel your career to a new level whilst enjoying market-leading flexibility. If you are interested in hearing more about this, please give me a call on 07441937615.
