Family Law Solicitor (c.3 years' PQE)
Heswall / Liverpool
The Firm
Hilton Spence is a family law firm that is boutique, high-quality, genuinely client-first, and a place that doesn't hold good lawyers back.
We act for clients across the North West - and there is now more of that work than the current team should sensibly carry.
The Role
We're looking for an ambitious family solicitor, around 3 years' PQE, to join the firm at an early and formative stage. You won't inherit someone's idea of how the job should be done - you'll help shape the way we work, grow as the firm grows, and look back in a few years knowing you were part of it from the start.
This is a role for someone who wants to build their career, a team and the firm - not just bill. As well as running your own matters, you'll have a hand in raising the firm's profile, and you'll be supported to do it your way.
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 You'll Do
- Run and manage your own a caseload of divorce, financial remedy, private children and nuptial agreement work.
- Advise clients on complex and sensitive matters, with genuine ownership from day one.
- Show real care in your drafting, client care and communications.
- Liaise confidently with clients, Courts, counsel and experts.
- Attend hearings and conferences.
- Play an active part in business development - building relationships, promoting the firm and helping it grow.
What You'll Bring
- Qualified solicitor with c. 3 years' PQE (spent in family law).
- Sound knowledge of the Family Procedure Rules.
- Strong drafting, advocacy and client-care skills.
- A professional, discreet and commercially aware approach.
- Ambition to build a practice in a growing firm.

Most people don't get a chance to help shape the firm they work for - but you can.
