Description:
Are you an experienced Private Family Solicitor looking for your next opportunity in Kent? Do you have 3+ years' PQE and want to join a well-established regional law firm where you can genuinely influence the future of a successful Family department?
Our client is seeking a confident and ambitious Family Solicitor to join its highly regarded team, handling a varied caseload of private family law matters. This is an exciting opportunity for a solicitor who enjoys building lasting client relationships, delivering outstanding legal advice, and contributing to the continued growth of a thriving department.
Reporting directly to the Managing Partner, the successful Family Lawyer will work alongside an experienced Family Solicitor with the support of two dedicated legal secretaries. The role offers exposure to a broad range of private family law work, including divorce, financial remedy matters, private children matters, cohabitation disputes and related family issues, without the need to specialise in one particular area.

Our client is looking for someone who can demonstrate:
A minimum of 3 years' PQE in Private Family Law.
Experience managing a varied caseload of private family matters from instruction through to conclusion.
Excellent client care and communication skills.
A proactive approach to business development and department growth.
The ability to work collaboratively while managing their own caseload with confidence.
A competitive and flexible salary is available, depending on experience.
Our client also recognises the importance of achieving a healthy work-life balance and is happy to consider part-time or reduced hours for the right candidate.
Joining our client means becoming part of a supportive and friendly team with an excellent benefits package, including:
25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
Private healthcare through AXA after six months' service (optional).
Scottish Widows workplace pension.
30% staff discount on legal services.
25% discount on legal services for immediate family members.
Staff referral bonus scheme.
£100 annual no-sick bonus.
Annual black-tie Christmas party and firm-wide summer social events.
If you're an experienced Private Family Solicitor looking for a new challenge with a respected Kent law firm that values career progression, flexibility and exceptional client care, we'd love to hear from you.
