  • Solid experience in both private finance and children work
  • A proactive approach to business development
  • Willingness to supervise or mentor junior staff
  • A personable and team-focused outlook
What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary and twice-yearly bonus scheme
  • Tailored progression plan aligned with individual career goals
  • Monthly one-to-one coaching and career support
  • Paralegal and secretarial support
  • Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home
  • A culture-first environment built around trust, flexibility and wellbeing
  • Regular socials during working hours, including book clubs, spa days, team lunches and more
This is a standout opportunity for a family solicitor who wants to be part of something genuinely different - a team that values each other, works hard for its clients and supports every member to achieve a fulfilling and balanced career
