The firm is now undergoing a period of growth, looking to upgrade its existing provision in a number of departments and currently recruiting dynamic, ambitious, quality candidates to take on a range of interesting instructions and assist with this planned, continued expansion. An opportunity has now arisen for a solicitor with a strong background in family law to join the team in the London office located close to Chancery Lane underground station.

Familiar with Legal Aid processes;
A robust and determined advocate, possessing excellent technical skills and the ability to explain complex matters in clear, accessible and empathetic language;
A real team player, IT literate and with strong time management and confident in running a busy caseload with minimal supervision:
