Family Solicitor (NQ - 5PQE) – Private Law | Bristol | Hybrid | Top 100 Firm | Progression & Culture

If you’re a Solicitor with experienceor a strong interest in Private Law Children and Domestic Abuse work, this is an excellent opportunity to join one of the South West’s most respected full-service firms, known for its progressive culture and strong reputation across family and private client law.

You’ll provide practical, empathetic advice to clients, appear in advocacy where appropriate, and assist senior colleagues on more complex matters. There’s also genuine scope to get involved in business development as the team continues to expand its presence across the South West.

This role would suit an NQsolicitor or someone with up to five years’ PQE, ideally with previous experience in family or child law. You’ll need strong client care skills, the ability to manage competing priorities, and a proactive, compassionate approach to problem-solving.

You’ll have access to clear career progression frameworks, ongoing professional training, and hybrid working arrangements that support flexibility and balance.
