Are you an experienced Family Solicitor looking for high-quality work, genuine career progression and the opportunity to take the next step towards a senior leadership position?
I'm currently working with a leading, multi-office Legal 100 law firm looking to appoint a talented Senior Associate to its established Family team in Birmingham.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly regarded national practice, handling complex, high-value matrimonial and financial matters for high-net-worth clients, while benefiting from the support, resources and expertise of a wider national team.
What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the clear progression pathway towards Legal Director and potentially Partnership, offering the chance to develop your career within a firm committed to long-term growth.
The Opportunity
You'll be joining an established and supportive Family team, working on a varied caseload of high-quality private family matters, including:
- High-value divorce and financial remedy proceedings.
- Complex financial settlements involving substantial assets, property portfolios, pensions and business interests.
- Divorce and separation matters for high-net-worth individuals.
- Negotiating financial settlements and advising clients on complex matrimonial issues.
- Building and maintaining relationships with high-net-worth clients and professional referrers.
- Working collaboratively with experienced Family specialists across the firm's national office network.
- Playing an active role in the continued growth and development of the Birmingham Family practice.
What Makes This Role Stand Out?
- Salary of £70,000–£90,000 plus bonus, depending on experience.
- Clear career progression towards Legal Director and Partnership.
- High-quality, complex and high-value private family work.
- Exposure to an established high-net-worth client base.
- Support from a well-resourced national Family team.
- The opportunity to build your profile and take on greater responsibility.
- A leading Legal 100 firm with an established multi-office presence.
- Long-term career development within a supportive and collaborative environment.
About You
I'm keen to speak with experienced Family Solicitors who:
- Are currently operating at Senior Associate level or are ready to make that step.
- Have strong experience advising on private divorce and financial matters.
- Are confident handling high-value or complex matrimonial cases.
- Have excellent client relationship and communication skills.
- Are commercially minded and interested in developing their practice.
- Have ambitions to progress towards Legal Director or Partnership.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Family Solicitor who wants more than just their next role. It offers the chance to build a long-term career, work on excellent-quality matters and progress towards a senior leadership position.
