Are you looking to take your career to the next step at a top firm?

I am working with one of my best clients, as they expand their family team in Surrey and are looking to add a senior solicitor to the team.

  • Cohabitation disputes, pre/post-nuptial agreements, and injunctions

As a senior member of the team, you will also play a key role in supervising junior lawyers, supporting business development, and helping shape the strategic growth of the department.

What could make you stand out?

  • 6+ years PQE with a strong background in private family law

  • Experience managing complex and high-value cases

  • Proven success with billing and business development

  • Ideally, some experience in supervising and mentoring junior team members - not essential
