- Work alongside leading family lawyers on high-value private family matters from day one
- Outstanding training, genuine progression and a bonus scheme worth up to 20% of salary
- Join a specialist family law firm where development comes before billing targets
If you’re an NQ-3 PQE Family Solicitor looking to accelerate your career, this is one of the strongest opportunities in the North West.
You’ll join a highly respected specialist family law team that advises on complex, privately funded matters typically associated with larger city firms, while benefiting from a supportive, close-knit environment where learning is prioritised over hitting billing targets.
During your first year, you’ll work side-by-side with experienced Partners and senior lawyers, supporting on a broad range of high-quality cases including divorce, financial remedy, high-net-worth matters, private children work and pre- and post-nuptial agreements.
As your career develops, you’ll begin managing more of your own matters, strengthen your advocacy skills and build your profile through networking, articles and business development.
The culture is collaborative, approachable and ambitious without being overly corporate. You’ll be surrounded by people who genuinely enjoy working together, share knowledge freely and are committed to helping one another succeed. Sustainable workloads are also a priority, allowing lawyers to deliver exceptional client service without sacrificing work-life balance.
Who we’re looking for
- Newly Qualified Solicitor to 3 years’ PQE
- Experience in family law through training, paralegal or post-qualified work
- Excellent drafting, communication and client care skills
- Strong academics and attention to detail
- Experience of private family law matters (desirable)
- Bright, enthusiastic and eager to learn
- Collaborative, approachable and motivated to build a long-term career in family law
What you’ll be doing
- Assisting Partners and senior lawyers on complex private family matters
- Supporting clients on divorce, financial remedy and private children cases
- Carrying out legal research and drafting legal documents
- Preparing court bundles and case documentation
- Attending client meetings and court hearings
- Supporting business development and marketing initiatives
- Gradually taking ownership of your own matters as your experience develops
Salary & Benefits
- Discretionary bonus scheme worth up to 20% of salary
- Relaxed billing expectations during your first year
- Outstanding mentoring from highly experienced Partners
- Genuine, merit-based progression with no bottlenecks
- High-quality privately funded work
- Supportive, collaborative culture with sustainable workloads
- Pragmatic flexibility once established
- Part-time (3 or 4 days) considered
- Strong long-term job security within a growing specialist practice
