A family law career that works differently.

Chippenham / Hybrid

£45,000–£55,000 FTE, pro-rata depending on agreed hours and experience

Evenings & Weekends

Bonus Scheme | 28 Days’ Holiday FTE, pro-rata

We’re looking for a Family Law Solicitor with 1–3 years’ PQE to join our growing team — but this isn't a traditional Monday-to-Friday solicitor role. This position is specifically designed around evening and weekend working. We know there are talented solicitors who would love to continue or return to their legal careers but, for all sorts of reasons, traditional office hours simply don't work for them. Perhaps you've taken time away from practice. Perhaps you have young children or other commitments during the working week. Or perhaps an evening and weekend working pattern simply suits your life better. At the same time, many of our clients would love the flexibility of being able to speak to their solicitor outside traditional working hours. So we're bringing the two together.

THE ROLE

You’ll manage your own family law caseload and offer client appointments during evenings and weekends, giving our clients access to specialist family law advice at times that work around their lives. You'll be joining a specialist family law firm with an exceptional online presence and a community of more than 1.8 million followers across our social media platforms. Our reach generates a significant and varied flow of family law enquiries, giving our solicitors the opportunity to work across a huge variety of matters — including complex, challenging and genuinely interesting cases. For a solicitor at 1–3 years’ PQE, there is enormous scope to broaden your knowledge, gain valuable experience and progress your career.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Has 1–3 years’ PQE in family law
• Is confident managing their own caseload
• Enjoys working directly with clients
• Is ambitious and keen to develop their technical knowledge
• Wants genuine opportunities for career progression
• Specifically wants a working pattern centred around evenings and weekends

WHAT WE OFFER

• £45,000–£55,000 FTE salary, pro-rata according to agreed hours and experience
• Bonus scheme
• 28 days’ holiday FTE, pro-rata
• Flexible evening and weekend working hours
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Chippenham-based office
• A consistent flow and exceptional variety of family law work
• Genuine opportunities to develop your knowledge and progress your career

This could be a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to return to law after a career break, or for a solicitor who has responsibilities during traditional working hours but doesn't want that to mean putting their career on hold. Your working hours might look different. Your career ambitions don't have to.

If you're a Family Law Solicitor with 1–3 years’ PQE and this sounds like the opportunity you've been looking for, we'd love to hear from you. Contact me directly with your CV.
