Senior Family Solicitor

Job description

Senior Associate Family Lawyer – 6 years PQE+ - Competitive Salary - Award‑Winning firm in Sussex

An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a Senior Associate – Family Law to join an award‑winning, employee‑owned practice recognised for its innovative and people‑centred approach. This is the ideal role for an experienced family lawyer looking to take the next step in a forward‑thinking, values‑driven environment.

This nationally recognised firm, consistently ranked by leading legal directories, is expanding its Sussex office and is seeking a Senior Associate – Family Law to play a key role in its continued growth.

The Role

As a Senior Associate – Family Law, you will manage your own caseload of private family matters and either hold, or be keen to develop, an NCDR qualification. You will also contribute to the firm’s strong culture of personal development through training, writing, social media engagement and wider business development.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Meaningful, impactful work supporting families with empathy and expertise
• A career‑shaping environment with mentorship, reflective practice and genuine collaboration
• An industry‑leading approach championing NCDR and innovative, client‑centred solutions
• A rewarding benefits package including generous holiday, wellbeing support, volunteering leave, life assurance, critical illness cover, contributory pension and personal branding support

You Will Thrive Here If You Are:

• An experienced family lawyer with a client‑centred mindset
• Passionate about family law and committed to NCDR
• A strong communicator and collaborative team player
• Looking for a clear progression path and the chance to help grow a developing office

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced family lawyer to join a progressive, supportive and highly respected team where your voice, ideas and development truly matter.
