Family Solicitor

Job Description

Whether you’re looking for a better balance or a firm where your contribution is properly recognised, you’ll have the support and autonomy to develop your practice and progress your career.

What’s on offer?

Genuine flexibility around working patterns
Hybrid working
Varied caseload of legal aid and privately funded work
Close-knit, collaborative high street firm
Scope to build your own client base and reputation locally

The role

You’ll manage your own caseload across the full range of Scottish family law matters, including:

Separation
Divorce
Cohabitation disputes
Financial provision on divorce
Child contact and residence

Your work will include negotiating and preparing minutes of agreement, conducting Sheriff Court actions and advising clients through each stage of their case.

You’ll handle a mix of privately funded instructions and legal aid work, including applications to the Scottish Legal Aid Board, so experience of both funding routes will be valuable but not essential as training will be given.

About you

This role would suit a solicitor who:

Has experience of Scottish family law
Is comfortable handling legal aid and privately funded matters
Is confident managing their own caseload
Is empathetic, calm and client-focused
Is looking for a flexible role within a supportive firm

The environment

This is an established high street firm with a friendly, community-focused culture. You’ll be trusted to manage your own work, backed by experienced colleagues, and given real flexibility to balance your career with life outside the office.

If you’re a Family Law Solicitor considering your next move, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
