Job Description:
A highly reputable family team is recruiting for a family lawyer with 5+ PQE to join its matrimonial team at Associate level and enjoy unhindered progression and a market-leading flexibility/homeworking policy.
You’ll join a full-service, multi-site firm with several offices around Manchester and Cheshire, and you’ll be joining the largest team based out of their Bury office – but with the ability to work from home up to four days per week, this role is commutable from anywhere in Greater Manchester and Lancashire.
The firm has an exceptional employee retention rate and this role has come about due to organic growth, with a ready caseload for you to get stuck into.
You’ll enjoy extremely manageable targets and a fantastic work/life balance. The firm takes employee wellbeing very seriously and has recently employed a “Head of Happiness” – so there are lots of team treats, socials, and charity events to join in with if you wish to!
If you’re looking for something closer to home but still with lots of progression, this could be the role for you – the firm is sizeable but has only five partners, so there isn’t a ceiling on how far you could go. The Head of Family is passionate about developing the team and you’ll enjoy a personalised progression plan with minimum quarterly check-ins to support your development to the next level.
The opportunity comes with a host of fantastic benefits, enhanced annual leave (increasing further with service), and free parking. You’ll also receive a market-leading performance bonus of 20% on top of your salary and get plenty of secretarial and admin support on your files, as the firm has a support-to-fee earner ratio close to 1:1.
You’ll also be able to move into an exclusively private family caseload, so this is great for those who want to move away from legal aid cases.
