You’ve built the experience. Now, where could it take you?

For an accomplished Family Solicitor / CILEX who is ready for more than another fee-earning role, this could be a significant career move.
The opportunity offers something increasingly difficult to find: a genuine pathway towards becoming Head of Department.
As part of the firm’s succession plans, they are looking for an experienced family law professional who can initially join as a senior member of the team, bring knowledge and enthusiasm to the department, mentor less experienced colleagues and, for the right person, develop towards leading the department in the future.
About the role
This is an opportunity to join at an important point for the family team.
Rather than stepping into a role with nowhere further to go, the successful Family Solicitor / CILEX will have the potential to grow their influence and responsibilities over time.

  • Play an important role in the department’s future
  • Mentor and coach junior colleagues
  • Bring fresh ideas, enthusiasm and experience to the team

  • Become an integral part of the firm’s longer-term succession plans

For someone already operating at a senior level but waiting for the opportunity to take that next career step, this could be particularly attractive.
What we are looking for
The firm is looking for more than technical family law experience. They want someone with the potential and ambition to become an important part of the department’s future.
The successful candidate will ideally offer:

  • Qualification as a Solicitor or CILEX
  • Around 8+ years’ family law experience
  • Strong technical knowledge and confidence gained at a senior level
  • Enthusiasm and a positive approach
  • The ability and desire to mentor junior team members
  • A collaborative and supportive working style
  • An appetite for greater responsibility and future leadership

This could suit a Family Solicitor / CILEX who enjoys their current work but can no longer see where their present firm can take them.
What’s in it for you
Alongside the career potential, the package reflects the seniority of the appointment:

  • £65,000 – £75,000 salary – as a guide but competive for the right person
  • Bonus scheme
  • Clear progression pathway towards Head of Department
  • 30 days’ holiday at Senior Associate level, plus bank holidays and Christmas Eve
  • Hybrid working after probation – typically 3 days office / 2 days home
  • Flexible start and finish times
  • 5% employer workplace pension contribution
  • Life assurance at 4 x salary
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Contribution towards legal fees after one year’s service – currently £1,250 FTE
  • Parking available

About the company

This is also a firm thinking about the future.
With succession planning creating an opportunity within the family department, they can offer the right Family Solicitor / CILEX something much more valuable than simply a change of employer: the potential to build towards leading a department.
For a senior family lawyer who has been waiting for the right opportunity to move their career forward, this could be the opening worth exploring now.
The firm is looking to recruit ASAP, with an initial Teams interview followed by a face-to-face meeting.

Apply now or contact TN Recruits for a confidential conversation. Even if a move isn’t actively on the agenda, the potential behind this opportunity makes it worth a discussion.
