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? They are a top 200 firm with a heritage dating back 100 years.


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 (2 - 5 years PQE) to join their flourishing Surrey based office. This will be a mixed caseload of private and legal aid matters.
  • 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.
  • They would look at handing over a full and diverse caseload over to the incoming Solicitor right away, but also make sure they are fully prepared for the challenge.


The Requirements

  • You will be a Solicitor with experience in Family Matters (2 - 5 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 the ability to handle your own caseload with relative autonomy, but will have close proximity to a Partner for support.
  • Salary is at the Central London bracket and much higher than that of regional competitors.
