• Dynamic, collaborative, and assertive – someone who brings energy to the team

What you’ll be doing

• Build and run a family law caseload from scratch

• Develop your own client following and be a visible presence in the local market
• Network locally and lead business development activity
• Contribute to the growth of the firm’s Altrincham office
• Longer-term, build and lead your own team
• Flexible hybrid working – 1–2 days from home
