Overview of the Family Solicitor role

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Family Solicitor with at least 5 years' PQE to join an established and highly regarded legal team in Shrewsbury.

This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor looking to handle high-quality, complex family work, including financial arrangements following relationship breakdown and disputes involving children. Much of the work involves high-value assets and sensitive circumstances, requiring a thoughtful, measured and client-focused approach.

You will work closely with experienced colleagues and partners, while having the autonomy to manage your own caseload and develop strong, long-term client relationships.

Key responsibilities of the Family Solicitor will include

• Managing a varied caseload of family matters from instruction through to conclusion

• Advising on divorce and separation

• Handling complex financial settlements and property arrangements

• Advising on children and childcare matters

• Dealing with adoption and family mediation matters

• Providing clear, practical and commercially aware advice to clients

• Managing high-value and often sensitive cases

• Building and maintaining strong client relationships

• Working collaboratively with partners and colleagues

• Contributing to marketing and business development activities

• At least 5 years' PQE in family law

• Experience across divorce, financial matters and children work

• Confidence managing complex matters independently from start to finish

• Excellent client care and communication skills

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines

• A high level of attention to detail

• A thoughtful and measured approach when dealing with sensitive matters

• An interest in contributing to business development and marketing activities

What sets this opportunity apart

This is a partner-led environment where you will have the opportunity to work alongside highly experienced colleagues while taking ownership of your own caseload.

The team handles complex, high-value and bespoke family matters, providing the quality of work you would typically associate with much larger practices.

There is also a strong focus on creating a balanced and sustainable working environment, supporting long-term career development without compromising on the quality of work or client service.

• A minimum of 5 weeks' annual leave
