Description

Senior Family Solicitor – Up to £76,000 – Hybrid Arrangement – Bristol

A high-profile Legal 500 firm are seeking to hire a Senior Solicitor into their celebrated Family Law Department; they are offering outstanding renumeration, flexible working arrangements, and plenty of scope for influence and progression.

Ideal Pre-Requisites:

  • 6+  years’ PQE, or experience in a genuinely Senior position
  • Proven track record of managing a divorce caseload in Family Matters
  • Experience in dealing with a range of Family matters, including ancillary relief, financial disputes, matrimonial disputes, divorce, and private matters of Children Law

The Firm:

  • Legal 500 full-service firm with truly national reach
  • Deep expertise in complex and high-value divorce
  • The firm’s Family and Matrimonial Finance practice is ranked in the Chambers & Partners High Net Worth Guide
  • Named consistently over years amongst the best firms at which to work by several publications

Benefits on Offer:

  • Very open-minded in terms of salary: £58,000 - £76,000
  • Hybrid working a core part of their culture, as opposed to a mere pandemic response
  • Great career path opportunities, with key competencies laid out transparently on a well-communicated progression ladder
  • Benefits package including pension, private health insurance, death-in-service, group income protection, etc

The organisation prides itself on being an especially supportive organisation who appreciate the emotional strain which can attend Family Law; all Partners operate an open-door policy, in line with their collaborative and relatively relaxed environment.

This firm is not afraid to make particularly senior hires, so will consider a candidate from Senior Associate level through to salaried Partner.

This is an ideal opportunity for any Senior Family Solicitor whose route to Partnership is presently stifled, or who generally is seeking pastures new, especially at a high-quality firm who invests thoroughly in its people.
