My client is seeking an experienced lawyer to become a new Head of Family Law and to lead and develop this well-established regional team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a senior family solicitor ready to take the next step into a leadership position, offering genuine autonomy, high-quality work, and the chance to shape the department's future.

You will oversee a mid-sized team of talented lawyers, providing strategic direction, mentoring, and day-to-day management to ensure continued success. While a following isn't required, a strong network and a solid business case would be advantageous.
