Job description

This full-time, permanent Family Solicitor position in Nottinghamshire offers a competitive salary within a busy family law department. Suitable for solicitors with at least two years' PQE, the successful candidate will manage a varied caseload covering divorce, separation, financial settlements and children's proceedings. Working closely with the current Head of Department, the role carries a clear route towards leading the team. Strong technical knowledge of family law, sound client care and the ability to handle complex matters independently are essential. The firm seeks someone who can support colleagues, contribute to business growth and build lasting relationships with clients across the region.

Family Solicitor | 2+ PQE | Nottinghamshire | Competitive Salary | A busy Family department is looking to hire an experienced Solicitor, integrating them into their welcoming and forward-thinking team.

THE ROLE:

Ready to take the next step in your family law career? This is your chance to work alongside the current Head of Department, with a clear path towards taking the reins yourself! You’ll manage your own varied caseload, support on complex matters and help grow an ambitious department. From relationship breakdowns to children’s proceedings, no two days will be the same (and no two families either!).

Your work will include:

• Divorce, separation and financial remedies
• Private children matters and parental disputes
• Cohabitation and relationship breakdowns
• Domestic abuse and injunction applications
• Care proceedings and child protection
• Special guardianship and adoption matters

THE CANDIDATE:

You’ll have at least two years’ family law experience and, importantly, the drive to help build something bigger. If you’re ready to take ownership, think commercially and have ambitions beyond simply managing a caseload, this could be the ideal next move.

You’ll bring:

• Strong family law knowledge and first-class drafting skills
• The confidence to manage a busy caseload independently
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills
• Advocacy experience (a bonus, but not a deal-breaker!)
• A proactive mindset and genuine enthusiasm for growing the department and progressing into a leadership role

At eNL we value diversity and inclusion. We want to attract people at all levels and encourage applications from all suitably qualified candidates whatever your ethnicity, religion, age, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristics protected by law in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
