30 Senior Solicitor jobs in Colchester

Harris Hill is delighted to be partnering with a leading national charity providing compassionate care and bereavement support to people across the UK. We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Solicitor to join their legal team and provide expert guidance across a wide range of matters impacting the organisation’s vital work.

This is a permanent, full-time, hybrid role based in Colchester, offering flexibility with two days in the office per week.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled legal professional to play a central role in supporting a mission-driven organisation. The Senior Solicitor will provide high-quality legal advice on commercial, property, contract, employment, and charity law, ensuring compliance across all operational areas. You will work closely with senior management and key stakeholders, offering strategic advice to mitigate legal risks and safeguard the organisation’s interests.

The successful candidate will be a fully qualified solicitor with solid experience across areas such as charity law, probate, property and conveyancing, employment law, contract law, and data protection. You will be commercially astute, adaptable, and committed to staying abreast of evolving legal and regulatory developments. Expertise in legacy management and estate administration would be a strong advantage, as would recognised data protection certifications such as CIPP/E, CIPM, or CIPT. You will bring strong analytical skills, sound judgement, and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving. As a trusted advisor, you will have the confidence to interpret complex legislation and translate it into practical, accessible guidance. Your ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues from diverse disciplines will be key, as will your capacity to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Family Solicitor | Witham | NQ

This is an opportunity to qualify into one of the region’s standout family teams, working from the firm’s Witham office.

The family department is Legal 500 recommended and led by lawyers who are widely recognised in the local market. They’re known for handling sensitive children matters, high-value financial disputes, and complex cases involving businesses, farms, and trusts. As a newly qualified solicitor, you’ll be working directly alongside those senior specialists, gaining the kind of exposure that quickly builds confidence and practical skills.

What makes this team different is its investment in junior lawyers. You won’t be hidden behind files, you’ll be sat in client meetings, trusted with advocacy when you’re ready, and given space to build your own reputation in the local community. Many of the current associates and partners trained and qualified here, and the firm has a clear track record of developing juniors into long-term specialists.

What they’re looking for:

• A newly qualified solicitor with at least one seat in family law
• Someone who wants to establish themselves in the region and build strong client relationships
• An enthusiastic team player who’s keen to learn directly from senior practitioners

If you’re looking to launch your career in family law within a team that combines top-quality work with genuine mentorship and long-term opportunity, this is a role worth considering.
