- Running your own caseload of:
- Divorce
- Financial remedy
- Private children matters
- Working with high-value and complex family law clients
- Delivering excellent client care with a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach
- Supporting the growth of the Wigan team as it continues to build out
- Getting involved in light BD and networking (partners lead on work generation)
Salary & Benefits
