Family Solicitor
Hot Job
- 4-day week on full salary and generous bonus structure
- Top-tier, privately funded cross-border work
- Genuinely down-to-earth, no-egos culture
This is an exceptional opportunity for a Family Solicitor to join a close-knit and friendly team working on high-quality, privately funded, and often international family law matters. With work coming in thick and fast — and even more expected through a new one-solicitor-per-couple service — you’ll play a key role in easing the load and helping the firm grow even further.
You’ll be rewarded for your hard work with a market-leading 4-day week (without losing pay), fully remote working if you prefer, and one of the most human, values-led legal cultures around. This is a firm that genuinely puts people first — whether that’s the clients or the team.
Who we’re looking for
- 5–10 PQE Family Solicitor
- Strong background in privately funded work (finances and children)
- Comfortable running a complex caseload, ideally with international elements
- Experienced and confident in business development
- Friendly, collaborative and humble — no egos, just good people doing great work
Salary & Benefits
- £50,000+ depending on experience
- 4-day working week (full pay)
- Fully remote working if preferred
- 10% bonus on all billings over 3x salary
- Bonus for NPS scores and even £500 bonuses for ideas that get implemented
- Monthly wellbeing talks and a big focus on mental health
- Clear and transparent progression path to Equity Partner
- A firm that celebrates initiative, innovation and contribution
