Junior Family Solicitor – 6 months – 3 years PQE – £40-46,000 dep on PQE, Surrey - Hybrid Working

Are you a junior family solicitor with some post‐qualification experience looking to join a niche, specialist practice operating from 2 offices (Surrey and SW London) with a strong reputation across South London? This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded family law team offering high‐quality private client work, a friendly culture and hybrid working after an initial settling‐in period.

You will work across divorce, financial remedy, child arrangements, ToLATA and domestic abuse matters, gaining exposure to a broad range of high‐quality work.

The successful candidate must have solid experience across all areas of family law, with strong grounding in matrimonial finance, as this will form the majority of your workload. You'll be joining a busy, successful practice where your development and progression are genuinely supported.

Hybrid working will be offered after an initial settling‐in period.
