About us
Rooney Family Law is one of Scotland's largest specialist family law firms. We act only for privately paying clients, with no legal aid. Our head office is in Hamilton and we have offices across the central belt.
The role
We are looking for family law solicitors with at least three years' post-qualification experience in Scotland to run their own caseload of high-quality private work: divorce and financial provision, cohabitation, relocation, adoption, and pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we offer
- Strong salary, plus a bonus scheme with targets you can actually hit
- Wellness days
- Working from home for solicitors after probation
- 3.30pm finish on Fridays
- Office closed between Christmas and New Year, without using your annual leave
- A very experienced and supportive team of family law specialists, with strong admin and paralegal support
- AI and in-house systems that take the admin off your desk, so you can concentrate on the legal work
- Genuine prospects for progression, and support towards accreditation as a specialist
