Job Description:
Senior Associate Family Solicitor
Birmingham City Centre | Hybrid after probation | £70-80k + up to £10k bonus
If you’ve made it to the level of Senior Associate in Family Law, you’ve probably seen your fair share of beige job ads promising “competitive salaries” and “dynamic teams.” Yawn.
We’re a growing, highly regarded law firm smack bang in the heart of Birmingham. But more importantly, we’re looking for you—an experienced Family Solicitor who’s tired of plateauing, hungry for progression, and ready to put their name (and reputation) to something meaningful.
This isn’t just another job—it’s a genuine opportunity to take the lead, build your own client following (with real support, not just lip service), and help shape the future of our Family Law department.
There’s even room at the top. Yes, we said it—you could be Head of Department.
And if you’re bringing in work? We’re not just patting you on the back and giving you a Greggs voucher. There’s a serious bonus on the table—up to £10k.
* Pathway to Head of Department – no glass ceilings here.
* £70-80k base + up to £10k performance bonus.
* Hybrid working (2 days WFH after probation).
* Supportive culture where you're more than a billing machine.
The Role:
* Handle your own caseload of private family law matters—think divorces, financial settlements, and Children Act work.
* Provide clients with exceptional, empathetic, no-nonsense legal advice.
* Represent clients in court like the confident pro you are.
* Mentor junior colleagues and show them how it’s really done.
* Play a key role in building the department's future.
* Hit a realistic target of 1250 chargeable hours.
You’ll be a great fit if:
* You’re a qualified solicitor / legal executive with senior-level experience in private family law.
* You’ve already built (or are building) a client following and know how to win trust fast.
* You’ve got top-notch technical knowledge and court advocacy skills.
* You’re business-savvy and see the bigger picture.
* You actually care about your clients. Like, really care.
