* Responding to new client enquiries
* Providing support to other fee earners within the family department
\n
This firm is the most accredited legal practice in Yorkshire, with a wide range of specialist certifications that highlight its expertise and stability. It is committed to fostering a positive work-life balance and offer a flexible hybrid working environment, along with a competitive benefits package, including:
