  • Cohabitation agreements
  • Pre and post nuptials
  • Children-related matters
You will also be required to attend and represent clients at court and attend clients at our other offices when necessary.

To apply for this role you will have ideally already been in a similar position or be looking for that next step up in your legal career. Ideally you will already have some managerial experience and will be able to lead by example. 

You must have at least 5 years' experience within family law and be a qualified solicitor or legal executive. 

This role is likely to be based in Bridgwater, with possibility of other Somerset locations. You should be a car driver with your own transport to visit neighbouring offices when needed.
