Family Solicitor / Associate
North East | Hybrid Working

I’m currently working on a really interesting opportunity with a well-regarded Northern firm looking to grow its established Family team.

This is the sort of role that will appeal to someone who enjoys proper relationship-led family law work rather than simply churning through files.

The team handles a broad mix of matters including divorce, financial remedy work (including higher value cases), private children matters, cohabitation disputes and pre/post nuptial agreements.

There’s also genuine advocacy exposure here, alongside the opportunity to work closely with experienced Partners in a collaborative and down to earth environment.

The firm itself has a strong reputation in the private client/family space and the team continues to attract high quality work across the region. From the conversations I’ve had, culture and flexibility are taken seriously without making a big song and dance about it.

The role would suit someone around the 2+ PQE level who:

?Has solid experience across a broad range of family matters
?Enjoys client-facing work and building long-term relationships
?Is confident managing their own caseload with appropriate support
?Wants to continue developing advocacy and technical skills
?Values being part of a friendly, commercially aware team

There’s scope to get involved in networking and business development naturally, but without unrealistic expectations attached to it.

If you’d like a confidential chat for more detail on the team, structure, salary or long-term progression, feel free to get in touch.
