It’s a reflection of a firm that genuinely puts people first and has built a culture where lawyers can thrive professionally without sacrificing family life or personal commitments.

- Children law and domestic abuse experience (Desired)
- Strong client care and relationship management skills
- Comfortable getting involved in networking and business development (Desired)
- Friendly, approachable and collaborative personality
- Someone who enjoys being part of a team rather than working in isolation
What you’ll be doing
- Managing a mixed private family caseload
- Advising on divorce and financial remedy matters
- Handling children and domestic abuse cases
- Supporting on more complex financial remedy work
- Building and maintaining strong client relationships
- Working closely with colleagues on shared matters
- Contributing to networking and business development activities
Salary & Benefits
- Potential personal and firm-wide bonus schemes
- Hybrid working (typically 3 days office / 2 days home)
- Option for a 4-day week (excluding Fridays)
- Genuine flexibility around childcare and personal commitments
- Associate title from day one where appropriate
- Clear progression to Senior Associate level
- Support with accreditations, training and conferences
- 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Christmas closure (not deducted from annual leave)
- Healthcare cash plan
- Salary sacrifice pension
- Regular team socials and celebrations
- Supportive, people-first culture with strong retention
