• Family Solicitor role within a long-established Legal 500 team
• Run your own caseload with plenty of work to come into
• Hybrid working, clear progression and a genuinely supportive culture

This is an excellent opportunity for a Family Solicitor to join a well-established and highly regarded family law team in Leeds.

There is already a strong flow of work, meaning you’ll step into an existing caseload while continuing to build your own. The role mirrors what more senior team members are doing, just at a lower level, giving you the chance to develop your experience while remaining firmly fee-earning.

You’ll be part of a Legal 500-ranked family team that is focused on organic growth, client care and building a supportive, collaborative environment. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys running their own files, doing advocacy and being part of a growing team without stepping into a management role.

• 2–4 years’ PQE in family law
• Experience running your own family law caseload without supervision
• Exposure to divorce, financial remedy and private children work
• Advocacy experience or confidence appearing in court
• Friendly, supportive and collaborative approach
• Strong-willed and confident, but a genuine team player

• Running your own caseload of divorce, financial remedy and private children matters
• Managing lower-level family work with appropriate autonomy
• Carrying out your own advocacy
• Building and developing your caseload as new work comes in
• Playing a part in business development and profile-raising activity
• Working closely with senior colleagues as the team continues to grow

• Salary £32,000 – £50,000, depending on experience
• Legal 500-ranked family team with a strong reputation in the market
• Excel-accredited firm with a serious focus on client care
• Hybrid working – up to 2 days working from home for full-time staff
• Part-time working considered (minimum 3 days)
• Clear progression opportunities, including promotion to senior solicitor level
• Supportive, friendly team culture where people genuinely enjoy working together
• Long-term growth plans within the family department
