Family Solicitor

Arnold, Nottingham, with hybrid working

Salary up to £55,000 per annum, commensurate with experience

We are working in partnership with a small, well-established law firm (part of a larger group), who are looking to attract an experienced Family Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to head up and drive forward the Family Law Department.

The role has come about due to retirement, so you ll be taking over an established, wide-ranging caseload, with a handover period, to get up to speed with existing matters.

You will be working as the sole fee earner in the family department, so it s a great opportunity to work autonomously, showcase your skills and experience and develop your career.

The role will involve:

• Managing a caseload of privately funded family law matters including divorce and separation, child arrangements and domestic abuse
• Advising clients in relation to all aspects of family law and keeping them fully updated
• Driving the family law department forward

Suitable candidates will have:

• Fully qualified status (solicitor or chartered legal executive)
• Around 3 years + PQE
• Experience of running a privately funded family law caseload
• A desire to progress your career within private family law

This is a full-time permanent job working 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

The firm offer:

• A high degree of flexibility, with work-life balance a high priority
• Hybrid working
• Company pension scheme
• 32 days annual leave, made up of 20 days plus 8 bank holidays plus your birthday off and additional paid leave over the Christmas shutdown period (usually 2 days at directors discretion)
• An investment in technology enabling you to work as efficiently away from the office as you do from your desk.
• Social activities and events to ensure a culture of fun and enjoyment, alongside hard work and achievement, with events ranging from quizzes to karaoke and sports events promoting an inclusive social dynamic

Note: Salary is given as a guideline, in line with market rate and will be wholly dependent on experience. The information given above is correct to the best of our knowledge.
