Family Solicitor

Family Solicitor | 1-5 years PQE | Market Leading Bonus | Fantastic Training and Development

This practice boasts a heritage of 30+ years in the Manchester area and is looking to grow with the addition of a Family Solicitor 1-5 years PQE. You will be working closely alongside a partner by inheriting a high-quality caseload.

The firm deals exclusively with privately funded Family work and has a strong reputation for looking after staff across all departments.

The firm

This family-friendly firm offers expertise across key practice areas including property, litigation, private client and family law. With a focus on individual services, it harnesses a good amount of internal cross-referral work creating a sense of client familiarity across departments which is very hard to find at larger practices in the North West.

This practice has a particularly good reputation for looking after staff; the managing partner checks in with all fee-earners and paralegals weekly. If you are looking to avoid the "cog in a wheel" structure, this firm offers a bespoke solution.

With staff welfare at the core of its success, the firm offers flexibility with fee-earners working part-time and from home several days a week. Being based in South Manchester, the firm has access to HNW individual clients, giving any fee-earner joining the firm access to a high quality level of work.

The firm offers a market-leading bonus scheme which is far ahead of larger practices in the city centre.

The role

This firm is looking to appoint a Family Solicitor 1-5 years PQE to join their growing department based in South Manchester.

This is an exciting time to be joining the firm as it continues to establish itself as an expert in family law matters. The practice covers a broad spectrum of Family Law matters including private children matters, divorces and ancillary relief, co-habitation matters and much more. The firm often deals with work valuing £1+ million, giving you exposure to complex matters.

Due to the firm’s heritage in the area and the caseload on offer, you will be provided with a good amount of work from your first day.

You will be working closely with the Managing Partner and another experienced Solicitor, giving you bespoke training and development hard to find at larger practices.
