  • Contribute to the team’s continued success and growth

  • Participate in networking and business development activities as required

  • Work collaboratively within a supportive environment that values both professional and personal well-being

About You: We’re open to considering candidates from Newly Qualified Solicitors through to Senior Associates. Whatever your level, you’ll have:

  • A strong background or seat in family law (private work preferred)

  • Excellent client care and communication skills

  • The ability to manage your own caseload efficiently

  • A proactive, team-oriented approach

For more senior candidates, there is flexibility to be based at one of the firm’s other Dorset offices, with hybrid working available to support a healthy work-life balance.
