Family Solicitor

You will have excellent technical ability and experience of handling a broad range of family and matrimonial law, with a focus on financial applications. You should be expected to manage your own caseload, with the help of an experienced Secretary. This is a fantastic opportunity for a conscientious individual with a fine attention to detail and good client handling skills given a high percentage of all our work comes from repeat business and referrals.

• Have strong technical skills, legal knowledge and excellent attention to detail;
• Have exceptional communication skills, both with clients and others in their team;
• Are organised, have good time management and commercial awareness and who are persistent and committed to completing tasks, achieving objectives and winning work for this fast-growing department;
• Are committed to improving service delivery and supporting the firm’s expansion plans;
• Can network confidently, and build and maintain relationships with clients as well as other fee earners to successfully cross-sell;
• Can work effectively as part of a team, in an often fast-paced environment;
• Are ambitious, self-motivated and can work with minimal supervision;
• Are keen to learn and can keep up-to-date with this practice area.

We pride ourselves on supporting and developing our staff on their chosen career paths.  Whether that is to progress their role to becoming qualified in whatever their chosen area of law is, or to consolidate their knowledge in the role they are happy in. We believe that by supporting our staff in this way it benefits our clients as the service we provide reflects the camaraderie and family atmosphere of our office.
