• Opportunities for partnership


• Work from home two days per week


• Bonus twice a year


• Family law boutique


• Highly reputable Cheshire market firm

Due to organic growth, a highly respected family law boutique in South Manchester is recruiting for a Private Family Solicitor with at least four years’ experience to join at Associate or Senior Associate level.

Your mission will be to come in and plug the gap between the most senior and most junior members of the team, hit the ground running on an existing caseload of work, and bring additional expertise and gravitas to this close-knit team of five.

For this reason, there is huge scope for progression, including promotion to Partner in the mid-term. You’ll also be able to work from home two days per week and receive a discretionary bonus twice per year.

You’ll also have access to secretarial support, which is becoming increasingly rare in the current market. Current team members describe the culture as “warm, open and transparent” and a place where they “feel valued”. Team outings include lunch clubs and spa weekends.

You’ll manage a reasonable caseload of mixed private family matters for a HNW Cheshire client base. Most of the team’s work is generated via reputation, referrer relationships, and word of mouth referrals.

The role would suit someone whose development is currently blocked at their current firm, wants to work for a family law boutique, or who would simply prefer a more pivotal position in a smaller team.

The firm will also consider applicants looking for a reduced-hours contract of four days per week.
