50000 - 65000 per annum Liverpool, Merseyside Permanent Family Solicitor | 4+ PQE | Liverpool A Liverpool family practice is recruiting at a point where someone with strong technical experience can step into genuine autonomy and help shape the direction of a growing team.
In two to three years, someone in this role could go from managing a complex caseload with oversight to running the family offering locally, with the client relationships, market profile and strategic input that comes with being the lead lawyer in a growth office.
The Work The caseload is private family law with complexity: divorce, financial remedy proceedings, private children matters, cohabitation disputes, Schedule 1 claims, and pre and postnuptial agreements.
The client base includes high-net-worth individuals, business owners and families with complex asset structures.
The firm's wider private client offering (wills, probate, business succession) sits alongside family, creating cross-referral opportunities and exposure to more sophisticated cases involving family-owned businesses.
As the office grows, the scope expands.
Early-stage responsibility becomes team leadership, mentoring junior lawyers and building long-term client relationships in a developing market.
The Platform The firm operates from offices in the North West, with a focus on practical, client-focused advice and long-term relationships.
Family is positioned as a key specialism alongside corporate, commercial litigation, employment and private client.
The culture is collaborative, approachable and commercially minded, with an experienced partner providing supervision while giving genuine autonomy to run files independently.
Why This Makes Sense Joining a growing office with clear growth targets means more visible impact on team development, local reputation and progression than in a large, established team.
The firm is mid-sized with strong backing, which gives the feel of a regional practice with shorter lines of communication, but with access to a larger professional services network for complex or cross-border cases.
Someone ambitious will find this role gives them the platform to go from capable associate to the face of the family practice locally, building profile, developing business, supervising others and shaping how the team operates rather than fitting into an established structure.
