Your contribution, innovation, and growth are directly reflected in how you're rewarded.

  • Work with structure, systems, and support. Our technology-based systems and frameworks allow you to focus on your clients and outcomes, not distractions.

  • Join a values-driven and Fun focused team. We hire for professionalism, empathy, and reliability and foster a collaborative, inclusive team culture that also has fun together.

What You'll Do

  • You'll manage a balanced caseload of parenting, property, and divorce matters, designed to build your skills across complexity and scope, with guidance from senior practitioners and access to structured mentoring along the way.
  • Draft legal documents, settlement proposals, court documents, and correspondence to OFL standards.
  • Provide strategic and empathetic advice to clients supported by Senior Solicitors.
  • Attend court events, mediations and negotiations with appropriate support.
  • Collaborate with barristers, experts and team members to progress matters strategically and efficiently.
