Family Solicitor

Job description

Family Solicitor | 5+ PQE | Bournemouth, Dorset

Some family law roles offer good work. Others offer the chance to build a long-term career around genuinely interesting clients, complex cases and a team people rarely leave.

This highly regarded Bournemouth practice has built one of the South’s standout Family teams, recognised nationally for its work on high-value financial disputes, private children matters and sensitive relationship issues. The team is now growing and looking for an experienced Family Solicitor with 5+ years PQE to join its thriving Bournemouth office.

You’ll step into a role with immediate exposure to sophisticated, often high-net-worth matters involving business assets, trusts, inherited wealth and complex family dynamics. The work is varied, strategic and client-led, with a strong emphasis on achieving practical outcomes while maintaining the highest level of client care.

Alongside financial remedy work, you’ll advise on nuptial agreements, cohabitation disputes, private children matters, relocation cases and injunctive relief applications. You’ll work closely with respected senior lawyers who are leaders in this field, while still having the autonomy to build your own profile and client relationships.

What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the balance the firm has achieved. The quality of work rivals much larger city firms, but the culture is collaborative, supportive and refreshingly down-to-earth. Lawyers are trusted, progression is transparent, and there is genuine investment in long-term career development.

What’s on Offer

• High-quality Family work including HNW and complex financial matters
• Join a nationally recognised and highly ranked Family team
• Genuine progression opportunities with strong partner support
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Excellent mentoring and collaborative culture
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
• Strong focus on wellbeing, development and work-life balance

This is an excellent opportunity for a Family Solicitor looking to handle standout work within a modern, ambitious and highly respected South Coast firm.
