Family Solicitor 5 years PQE+

£ competitive depending on PQE

SE London, hybrid working and excellent working culture

A highly regarded, long‑established South London practice is seeking an experienced Family Solicitor (5+ PQE) to join its thriving team of six fee‑earners. This is a genuinely supportive, down‑to‑earth firm with a reputation for high‑quality work, strong values, and excellent staff retention.

The Role

You will handle a purely private family law caseload, working across:

* Divorce and financial remedy

* Private children matters

* Cohabitation and separation agreements

* Pre‑ and post‑nuptial agreements

You will be joining a friendly, collaborative team where everyone supports each other, and where your contribution will be genuinely valued.

What Makes This Firm Stand Out

* Warm, people‑focused culture – a firm where staff stay long‑term because they’re treated well.

* Strong, established family department – you will be part of a respected team of six fee‑earners.

* High‑quality private work – no legal aid, no mixed caseloads.

* Real progression opportunities – the firm actively supports development and internal growth.

* Excellent supervision and collaboration – you will work alongside experienced specialists who enjoy sharing knowledge.

About You

* 5+ years PQE in Family Law

* Experience exclusively in private family matters

* Confident managing your own caseload

* Strong client‑care skills and a constructive, solution‑focused approach

* Team‑oriented mindset and willingness to contribute to a positive working environment

If you’re looking for a role where you can handle high‑quality private family work in a genuinely supportive and well‑run firm, this is an excellent opportunity.
