Family Solicitor

I am currently recruiting for an experienced Family Solicitor to join a well-established regional firm, based in its Crossgates branch.

You will have over 5 years of experience in divorce and separation, related finance work, agreements, child arrangements matters and domestic abuse remedies.

This role will involve a mix of private and legal aid funded work, requiring experience in handling both funding types. You will be responsible for managing a caseload of family law matters while maintaining high standards of client care.

Key Responsibilities:

• Managing a diverse caseload of family law matters from start to finish
• Handling cases involving divorce, separation, finance work, child arrangements and domestic abuse
• Advising clients and representing them at all stages, including applying for legal aid when necessary
• Drafting court pleadings, statements and applications
• Attending client meetings, offering advice and advocating in court
• Responding to new client enquiries
• Providing support to other fee earners within the family department

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:

• Generous holiday entitlement of up to 31 days
• Hybrid working arrangements for a balanced lifestyle
• Discounted bus travel
• Health Cash Plan with employee contributions
• Payroll giving scheme for tax-free charitable donations
• Professional membership and subscription support
• Death in Service Life Assurance (3x salary)
• Interest-free loan for an annual travel pass
• Free conveyancing on your main residential property
• A free will
• Regular social events

Ideally you will have circa 5 years of PQE, though the firm is open to considering candidates with slightly less experience for the right fit.

If you are an experienced Family Solicitor or Fee Earner with a passion for client care and a methodical, organised approach, we encourage you to apply. For further details or to discuss the role confidentially, please get in touch with Rachael Atherton at G2 Legal Recruitment.
