Your Employer
Our client is seeking an experienced Family Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to join their supportive and growing department. The position is predominantly office based due to the seniority of the role, but our client will consider flexible working arrangements on a case-by-case basis. This role offers significant scope for progression and is a fantastic opportunity for ambitious candidates who are looking for head of department and partnership prospects in the future.
Your New Role
This role requires candidates to bring their experience and expertise in family law to help manage and develop our client's department. The role requires candidates to have prior experience in a supervisory position as candidates will be expected to work alongside partners and the head of department to contribute to business development. The role offers the chance to engage with clients directly, and candidates will be expected to handle a varied caseload in multiple areas of family law, including divorce, cohabitation and financial matters, and private children act proceedings. Candidates will be asked to work from our client's office in Bridgwater, but on occasion may be required to travel to other offices in the local area.
What You'll Need to Succeed
To succeed in this role, you will need to be a confident networker to build and maintain client relationships, together with developing our client's business, and effectively manage your own varied caseload to deliver a quality service to private clients. You will ideally have at least 5 years PQE, with 3 years of experience in family law behind you. Candidates with less than 5 years PQE or 3 years of family law experience are still encouraged to apply. You will need to be open to contribute your own ideas and meld with the management team to help propel the department and firm forward.
What You'll Get in Return
This is an excellent opportunity for ambitious candidates looking for a role that offers the chance for internal progression within a supportive and inclusive working environment. The position offers a competitive salary that is commensurate with PQE and supervisor experience. The role also offers great benefits and added incentives, including generous holiday allocation that will increase on length of service and the chance for internal promotion.
