A highly regarded specialist firm, known for its expertise and ambitious growth plans, is seeking an experienced Family Solicitor to join its team. This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced family law professional eager to embrace a new challenge, step into a leadership role, and thrive in a supportive, dynamic, and forward-thinking environment.

A highly regarded, regional law firm is looking to recruit a Senior Family Solicitor to lead their new Essex office opening. With plenty of autonomy, real support and a clear, fast-tracked route to partnership, you will lead your own caseload of privately funded family law matters, including divorce, financial remedy proceedings, cohabitation disputes, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, and private children law cases. In this senior role, you will deal with your own files and play a key role in further developing the family offerings in Essex.

We are seeking applications from Solicitors or Legal Executives with at least 5 years PQE and proven strong technical expertise in family law matters. You will be handling a mix of private family work including financial remedy; children matters and complex and high-value disputes. The ideal candidate will have experience leading a team, excellent communication and organisational skills, and the confidence to manage files independently. We are looking for a positive, collaborative professional with the drive to make a meaningful impact and contribute to the growth and development of the practice.

The firm is highly respected for its exceptional client care, high-quality privately funded family work, and a collaborative team culture. It offers a friendly, modern working environment where individual contributions are valued, and career progression is supported.
