Family Solicitor

Family Solicitor

1+ PQE | Liverpool | Hybrid Working

I'm working with an established law firm looking to recruit a Family Solicitor or Legal Executive to join its growing Family team in Liverpool.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their career within a supportive team, handling a varied caseload of family matters while building strong client relationships and gaining further experience.

The Role

You'll manage your own caseload of family law matters, with a particular focus on matrimonial work, private children proceedings and domestic abuse matters.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Handling divorce, separation and financial remedy matters.
• Advising on private children matters, including Child Arrangements Orders.
• Managing domestic abuse cases, including Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders.
• Preparing applications, statements and other legal documentation.
• Attending court hearings and undertaking advocacy where appropriate.
• Providing clear, practical and sensitive advice to clients.
• Building relationships with clients, counsel and other professionals.
• Supporting the continued growth of the Family department through networking and business development.

About You

The firm is looking for someone with at least 1 year's PQE, although applications from Legal Executives with relevant experience are also welcomed.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience handling your own family law caseload.
• A background in matrimonial, private children and domestic abuse work.
• Strong client care and communication skills.
• The ability to manage sensitive and often challenging situations professionally.
• Good organisation and time-management skills.
• A genuine interest in developing your career within family law.

Experience with Legal Aid work and advocacy would be advantageous, as would Resolution or Law Society Family Law Accreditation, but neither is essential.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary reflective of experience.
• Hybrid and flexible working.
• Healthcare contribution.
• Death in service benefit.
• Structured training and development.
• Clear career progression opportunities.
• A supportive and inclusive working environment.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for a Family Solicitor or Legal Executive looking for a new challenge within an established team.

Whether you're looking to take the next step in your career or simply find a firm where you can continue developing your experience with the right support around you, this is worth exploring.
