They are known for their intellect, integrity, and unwavering commitment to both their clients and their people.
But they’re not standing still - and neither should you.

Be part of a tight-knit, values-driven team
Have autonomy, flexibility, and trust
Do challenging, meaningful work
The Opportunity
This is a pivotal role for a seasoned family lawyer (minimum 9 years PQE) who thrives in complexity and leads with both expertise and empathy. Whether you're an Accredited Specialist or an outstanding practitioner who has taken a different path, we’re open to your story. The right fit matters more than a checklist.
How They Work
Hybrid Model: Three days in-office (Tues/Wed + your choice of a third), two from home. Balance that respects your life while staying true to their collaborative culture.
Part-time Friendly: A 3+ day week works for them if it works for you.
Autonomy + Support: Shape your mix of parenting and property matters, with billing targets of just 5 hours/day.
Modern Tools: A paperless office, tech-forward systems, and a legal assistant for every two lawyers (they don’t waste time on inefficiency).
What They’re Looking For
You’ll bring a sharp legal mind, particularly around complex property work, and a collaborative spirit that uplifts the team. They want someone who contributes as much to their culture as they do cases. If you're a natural mentor, thrive in a high-performing team, and want the freedom to do your best work, you belong here.
Apply today. Because where you do your best work matters.
With over 20 years experience recruitment experience, I can guarantee that your application is in good hands.
The market is small and confidentiality is key. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have or to discuss the options available in the market.
