We are working with a well-established, highly regarded law firm seeking a Family Solicitor to join their growing Family Law team. This is an excellent opportunity for a driven and compassionate solicitor to develop their career within a supportive and reputable environment.

The successful candidate will join a Legal 500-recognised team and work closely with a highly experienced Partner, gaining exposure to high-quality work and excellent mentoring.

The Role

You will manage a varied caseload of privately funded family matters, supporting clients through often complex and sensitive situations. This role offers a strong mix of autonomy and supervision, making it ideal for someone looking to build confidence and expertise in family law.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing your own caseload of family law matters from instruction through to conclusion
  • Advising clients on a broad range of issues, including:
    • Divorce and separation
    • Financial remedy proceedings
    • Private children matters (including Child Arrangements Orders)
  • Drafting legal documents, correspondence, and court applications
  • Conducting legal research and preparing case strategies
  • Attending court hearings, client meetings, and negotiations (with support where required)
  • Supporting senior team members on more complex or high-value cases
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships, demonstrating empathy and professionalism
  • Ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory and procedural requirements
  • Managing deadlines effectively and maintaining accurate case records
  • Contributing to business development activities where appropriate

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
