Family Solicitor (2+ PQE) – Nottingham – Legal 500 – Excellent Employee Satisfaction

£40k - £75k per annum
Family Solicitor to Associate (2+ PQE) – Nottingham – Legal 500 Firm – Excellent Employee Satisfaction – £40,000 to £75,000


The firm
A well-regarded Legal 500 regional firm with a strong presence across multiple offices, offering the best of both worlds—high-quality work alongside a genuinely supportive and approachable culture. The Nottingham-based Family team is particularly well respected, recognised for handling complex and often high-value matters while maintaining a pragmatic, solution-focused approach. There is a clear emphasis on client care, with lawyers known for being empathetic, communicative and commercially minded—striking the right balance between sensitivity and strong legal advice. The firm also benefits from excellent employee satisfaction, with a collaborative environment where people are supported to develop and progress. You’ll be joining a team with credible leadership, a diverse client base and a steady flow of interesting work, rather than purely volume-driven files.


The role

  • Assisting and working closely with senior team members on a varied family caseload
  • Exposure to mid to high-net-worth financial remedy work, alongside children matters and cohabitation/TOLATA disputes
  • Supporting on and progressing matters including pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and cohabitation arrangements
  • Drafting, reviewing and analysing a wide range of legal documentation
  • Advising clients clearly and sensitively, ensuring they feel supported throughout what are often difficult circumstances
  • Identifying legal risks, analysing issues and contributing to effective, practical solutions
  • Handling client queries and correspondence in a proactive and timely manner
  • Undertaking legal research where required
  • Supporting business development initiatives and helping to grow the team’s presence in the market
  • Assisting in the supervision and development of junior colleagues
  • Ever wanted to work on more complex, high-value family matters but not quite had the exposure yet? This role offers exactly that opportunity within a supportive structure
  • Maintaining accurate time recording, billing and contributing to financial targets
You

  • Qualified Solicitor or MCILEX/FCILEX with at least 2 years’ PQE in family law
  • Comfortable assisting on a broad range of matters including finances, children work and cohabitation disputes
  • Able to manage workloads effectively in a fast-paced but supportive environment
  • Strong communicator, both written and verbal, with a genuine appreciation for the sensitivity required in family law
  • Detail-oriented, organised and proactive in your approach
  • A team player who can also work independently when required
  • Interested in developing technically while building long-term client relationships
  • Looking for a role where client care is as important as legal ability, and where your work genuinely makes a difference to people’s lives? You’ll fit in well here
Benefits

  • £40,000 to £75,000 salary depending on experience
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing with service)
  • Additional day off for your birthday
  • 35-hour working week (Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm)
  • Life assurance (3x salary)
  • Pension scheme
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Salary sacrifice options including cycle to work, additional pension contributions and holiday purchase
  • Staff legal services discounts
  • Ongoing training and development, including access to internal and external courses
  • A genuinely supportive and open culture, with a focus on wellbeing and long-term career progression
If you are looking to develop your career within a highly regarded family team, working on quality matters with strong leadership and real client impact, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
