Job description

Senior Family Law Solicitor | Head of Family | Belfast | Hybrid Working


Leadership Opportunity | Excellent Salary & Executive Benefits
We are exclusively partnering with a well-established and highly respected Belfast law firm to appoint a Senior Family Law Solicitor to lead and further develop its Family Law Department.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious family law specialist to take on a leadership role within a successful practice, helping shape the strategic direction of the department while continuing to work on high-quality and complex matters.
The role would suit an experienced solicitor seeking greater autonomy, leadership responsibility, and the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing firm.

What's on Offer?

  • Highly competitive salary package

  • Executive-level benefits package

  • Performance-related bonus structure

  • Hybrid and flexible working

  • Clear route to senior leadership

  • Strong existing client base

  • Supportive and well-resourced environment

About You

We are interested in speaking with experienced Family Law Solicitors who can demonstrate:

  • Strong technical expertise in family law

  • Experience managing complex and sensitive matters

  • Leadership capability and commercial awareness

  • Excellent client relationship skills

  • A desire to contribute to the continued growth and success of a department


Previous management or supervisory experience would be advantageous but is not essential for candidates who can demonstrate leadership potential.

The Role

You will play a key role in leading the Family Law Department, managing complex matters, supporting and mentoring colleagues, and contributing to the strategic growth of the practice.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a highly regarded firm and build something meaningful within a supportive and ambitious environment.

For further information on this role, apply via the link or contact Ciaran at VANRATH for a confidential discussion.
