Family Lawyer / Family Solicitor
4–6 Years' PQE
Merseyside offices in Liverpool and Southport | Hybrid Working
Not every family lawyer wants a bigger caseload.
Some Want Better Cases. Others Want Greater Autonomy.
The best lawyers are often looking for both.
Some want to work alongside lawyers who genuinely influence the future of family law.
And some want to help clients through life's most challenging moments while still having a life of their own.
At Napthens, we're looking for a Family Lawyer or Solicitor (ideally 4–6 years' PQE) to join our growing Merseyside family team.
You'll work closely with Matthew Taylor, one of the North West's leading specialists in financial remedies, complex divorce, and cohabitation disputes. At the same time, you'll have the autonomy and trust to manage your own caseload and build your own profile within the team.
This isn't a role where you'll spend your days handling straightforward matters from start to finish.
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.

You'll be joining a family team that combines technical excellence with genuine compassion, working across Lancashire, Merseyside, and Greater Manchester.

- Strong experience in privately funded family work
