Experienced Family Lawyer
Location: Tamworth or Solihull (hybrid working)
Salary: £75,000 to £85,000 plus bonus and benefits
About the Role
If you’re a private family lawyer who enjoys running matters end-to-end, wants the autonomy to shape how a team operates, and is ready to step into a role with genuine progression, this is a brilliant opportunity.
Our client is a national high street law firm with a strong footprint across multiple locations and a sizeable legal team. They are looking to appoint an experienced Family Lawyer into their Tamworth office, with a clear pathway to becoming Head of Department in a short timeframe.
This is a growth-focused hire. You will take ownership of a broad private family caseload and play a key role in building the practice across the wider office network. You do not need to bring a client following, but you will need the ambition and commercial drive to help grow the department over time.
