I’m keen to speak with experienced Family Solicitors or Legal Executives looking to join a well-established and highly regarded practice in North Dorset.

You’ll be handling a varied caseload across all aspects of family law, including divorce, financial remedy, cohabitation disputes, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, children matters, and relationship breakdowns. The firm is open to candidates with mediation experience, though this isn’t essential.
Ideally, you’ll bring at least four years PQEwith a strong background in family law. You’ll need to be comfortable running your own matters independently, working closely with clients through what can often be complex and sensitive situations.
This is a modern, ambitious firm that takes pride in its community roots and down-to-earth culture.
If you’re looking to take the next step in your family law career with a firm that blends quality work and a friendly team environment, I’d love to hear from you.
