Legal Counsel jobs in United Kingdom

Qualified Family Solicitor, fully remote with court travel

Interviews available now, no marathon panel circus

Work from home, attend hearings nationwide as required

Occasional office visits to Birmingham or Luton, your choice

Standard 8 are partnering with a practice that does one thing exceptionally well, standing up for families and children. They are drowning in work and need capable hands, which is why you are reading this rather than liking another inspirational post about resilience. This is genuinely remote. The work is serious but the culture is human. You will not have someone tracking how long your Teams light stays green. Court hearings happen across the country and occasional office days are expected. If your idea of advocacy is avoiding trains, it will not suit.

Qualified Solicitor, three to ten years PQE, who knows their craft

• Specialist accreditation in Family or Children Law, not just “keen on it”
• Tangible experience in children matters and injunctions, not just exposure
• Confident advocate willing to stand their ground in hearings
• Familiar with legal aid processes, because they matter
• Supervisory experience welcomed, but they are not looking for a tyrant
• They are also open to rights of audience advocates for
• Domestic Abuse matters
• Child Arrangement Orders

• Competitive salary, because passion alone does not pay mortgages
• Flexible working that is actually flexible, not theoretical
• Performance bonuses, because good work should be recognised

If you want autonomy, meaningful work and a team that lets you get on with it, this is the one worth a conversation. Standard 8 are shortlisting now. The proactive tend to win, so if it fits, move quickly.
