Family Associate Solicitor

A highly regarded law firm based in London is seeking a driven and technically strong Family Associate to join their market-leading and rapidly growing Family team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Family Associate with 3-6 years' PQE to work within a Tier 2 ranked team for matrimonial finance in Legal 500, and Band 2 ranked for HNW matrimonial finance in Chambers and Partners. With ambitious growth plans, this team is widely recognised as being at the forefront of family law.

This position would suit a Family Associate who combines top-tier legal knowledge with the sensitivity and empathy required to support clients through emotionally challenging matters. The successful Family Associate will work closely with Partners on a wide range of high net worth family matters, including complex financial remedy cases, private children law, and protective injunctions.

The Family Associate's role

As a Family Associate, you'll handle a broad spectrum of high-value family law matters. You'll support senior colleagues while managing your own caseload of files, ensuring an excellent standard of client service throughout.

This is a busy and rewarding role, offering the opportunity to engage in some of the most interesting and high-profile family law work in London. Experience in surrogacy and adoption matters would be advantageous but is not essential.
