Family Solicitor - Step Into Senior Role - 1 Day In Office Possible

A well-established North Yorkshire law firm is looking for a self-starting Family Lawyer to take on a senior role within their Family Department.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Family Solicitor (4+ PQE) to join a respected practice with a loyal client base, strong local reputation, and a friendly, supportive working culture.

The role:

• Manage a varied caseload of private Family Law matters (no Legal Aid work), including a significant percentage of litigated files.
• Focus on financial settlements following divorce or separation, as well as wider family law issues.
• Work alongside another senior lawyer to develop and modernise the department.
• Supervise and support junior team members, including paralegals and trainees.
• Deliver exceptional client service and contribute to the continued success of the team.

The ideal candidate:

• 4+ years' PQE with solid experience across all aspects of private Family Law.
• Confident handling financial cases, including those involving high net worth clients.
• Proactive, commercially minded, and confident in taking ownership of your caseload.
• Comfortable with technology and open to improving systems and working methods (experience with speech recognition software is desirable).
• Supervisory experience required to work with paralegals, trainees and legal support.

The offer:

• Competitive salary with a generous bonus on fees received.
• Flexible/hybrid working available.
• Supportive, down-to-earth team with an excellent local reputation.
• Full-time or part-time hours considered.

This opportunity would suit someone living in or near North Yorkshire, perhaps currently commuting to Teesside, York, Leeds, or Harrogate, who's ready to enjoy a better work/life balance in a friendly, ambitious firm.

If you're further afield to North Yorkshire, more remote options will be taken into consideration.
