Depending on experience but competitive with regional firms
We are excited to have a role available to join our Family department based at one of our Wiltshire offices.
The role will allow you hone and develop your skills as a successful lawyer. You will take on an already existing caseload of varied work but be given plenty of opportunities to grow the client base and workload, through various networking and business development activities that suit your skill set and strengths.
You will get the chance to become highly skilled in various methods of dispute resolution. With the support of others within department you will be encouraged to carry out your own advocacy.
There will be plenty of opportunities to broaden your role and contribute to the department by participating in marketing activities, supporting junior members of the team and being part of one of our Specialisms. For a long time the department has worked with victims of domestic abuse and to further our support and commitment, we now have a specialised Domestic Violence Team.
We are happy to consider full time or part time applications for this role and working hours will be discussed further at interview. When applying please provide a note of the ideal working hours/pattern you are looking for.
Our Family department has extensive experience in handling all manner of family law matters. We provide our clients with specialist advice related to separation and divorce, children matters, finance and pensions, domestic abuse, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
We are proud that once again the Family department has been ranked as a Band 1 team in Chambers and Partners 2024, putting them alongside some of the leading family teams in the country, not just the southwest. The department’s lawyers are recognised for their high level of knowledge and exceptional client care. We are also delighted that the department has been listed again in The Legal 500 guide.
The department itself currently houses 14 lawyers, ranging from Trainee Solicitor to Partner, along with 8 support team members across six of our offices.
You will need to have experience of Family law dealing with all aspects of divorce, separation, financial settlements, children matters, injunctions and pre/post-nuptial agreements. Excellent client care and negotiating skills will also be required.
We carefully chose our values as a firm to ensure they reflect the way we conduct our work, both internally and externally. We embrace 5 core values; Trust, Teamwork, Excellence, Accountability, and Engagement. We reflect these in all areas of our practice, in particular, in our personal and dedicated service to each and every client. By embedding these values into our culture our clients recognise us as trusted advisors.
Our commitment to our clients and hard work over the years is reflected in the ‘Leading Firm‘ ranking that we have achieved for consecutive years from the prestigious Chambers & Partners, and Legal 500 directories. As a firm, we intend to continue to dedicate ourselves to our values in the pursuit of trusted advisor status.
