Job Description
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.
Apply now or contact Harrison for more information.
