If you love growth, flexibility and working in a progressive, cutting edge environment - keep reading. If you're a family Lawyer it's likely you work from one fixed office, 5 days per week, 9-5. Your time is taken up on a range of family cases, but,a lot of time is wasted with irrelevant enquiries, chasing bills and doing admin. In a typical day, how many hours do you actually focus on servicing your clients? You're dedicated, so you might progress, at the firm's pace, or not. It's frustrating, but that's the way Family Law has always traditionally been practiced. Forget what you know about working within Family Law, there's a more progressive proposition. We'll remove all the manual document creation that stops you being efficient , the process blockages that make it hard to provide great client service and the admin that sucks you away from billable work for clients, developing your reputation and practice, and coaching and developing junior lawyers. If you're ambitious and really want to build the most client-centric, successful and rewarding specialist family law practice in your region, we'll offer you a great salary, a chance to work with wonderful people and the opportunity to work in a really clever way. You'll have flexibility to work from home, or the office, whenever you like, and you'll arrange your days or weeks around your commitments, family, clients and leisure activities . In order to double in size within 5 years we're hiring the best Lawyers to join our teams, giving them support, autonomy and work-life balance. We're arming them with: The most efficient and lawyer-centric case management system in the industry Client-centric innovation and more efficient frameworks Strong demand generation and market leading business development capability from a huge modern-day marketing team dedicated to family law An unbeatable customer experience in an industry that has languished and needs shaking up Personal and professional development Specialist teams from paralegals to billing, credit control to client care (who take all initial enquiry calls) Requirements It's likely you're either a Senior Solicitor that's frustrated because you're not a Partner, or, a Partner in a traditional firm that is frustrated that they're not an equity partner and not being adequately rewarded. You want to reach your potential and ambitious. We offer work-life balance and support, but you'll want to progress your career whilst still practicing family law Able to convert new clients and lead a range of complex divorce, finance and children cases A wellbeing culture including Mental Wellbeing days, and access to counselling sessions Volunteering leave Diversity public holidays 26 days holiday Enhanced adoption, maternity and paternity pay Paid leave for fertility treatment Medicash health insurance - 24/7 GP's, dental, counselling, gym discounts Life Assurance Contributory pension You don't need a cv to apply, simply fill out the 3 fields and a copy of your LinkedIn profile.
