  • This firm is truly full service offering a range of legal advice for Property, Corporate, Family, Private Client, Commercial, Employment, Sport, Litigation, Sports, Travel, Fraud, TMT, Data Protection, Regulatory, Immigration, and the list goes on.
  • Their Partners are some of the most proactive business developers in the market and have created exceptional ties meaning a steady flow of business across all channels. Their fee earners will always have foundations to build on because of this, and unlike some other heavyweight firms, their client relationships are not simply reserved for the Partners.
  • Compounding the above point, the full-service offering of the firm means they have an abundance of cross-referral work to fertilise each teams desks.
  • The firm is continuing to grow across all areas, and they are looking for exceptional people keen to work somewhere with a truly unique International vision.

The Role
  • The Firm is looking for a Family Solicitor (NQ - 2 years PQE) to join their flourishing Surrey based office.

  • There will also be a component of private 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.
