Job Details
Are you an experienced Family Solicitor interested in an exciting opportunity to join a highly regarded and extremely supportive firm with a network of offices in Essex?
The Firm
- This firm has a rich heritage dating back over 100 years.
- They are one of the most well-respected law firms in Essex and have become a regional heavyweight, they are ranked in the Top 200 and are top tier across several areas.
- They have grown significantly over recent years, and things are showing no signs of slowing down!
- They have built up a first-class client base over the years, with an institutional client base that would make their London counterparts envious.
- You will find the practice has a very friendly, supportive, professional, and dynamic culture.
- Despite their size now being at over 100 staff across three offices, they have kept the family feel that they have become well-known for.
- They are the type of firm where people stay at their whole careers; they have an unprecedented staff retention rate and more fee earners than not, have been at the practice over ten years.
The Role
- The Firm is looking for a Family Solicitor (NQ - 2 years PQE) to join their flourishing Surrey based office. This is a predominately Private Family role with an element of legal aid work.
- On the Ancillary Relief side of things, this role will involve working on a caseload included but not limited to mediation, division of assets, harassment, domestic violence, international jurisdictions, property issues related to breakdowns, pre/post marriage arrangements, civil partnerships, and civil Partnership with modern family concerns.
- There will also be a component of children matters to contend with, but it does not form the main foundation of the caseload you would be handling.
- The team in situ is not the largest but has been established and lead by leaders in the field for some time. The level they punch at is similar to those of more established London firms.
The Requirements
- You will be a Solicitor with experience in Family Matters (NQ - 2 years PQE).
- A genuine passion and care for your clients are essential; the firm has built an excellent reputation for providing an empathetic and professional service for their long-standing clients.
- You will have built up a good level of experience in private family matters. If you are a junior candidate, the preference is that you would have built up at least a years experience during your seats, and have composite paralegal experience.
- You will have the ability to handle your own caseload under supervision with a Partner.
- Salary is at the Central London bracket and much higher than that of regional competitors.
