Based in our Nottingham offices in Beeston, West Bridgford or Long Eaton
Salary commensurate with experience plus discretionary performance and Christmas bonuses
We are a multi-disciplinary high street legal practice serving clients for over 130 years. Our mission is to establish lifelong relationships with our clients by anticipating and responding to their needs for quality legal services.
We are currently looking to grow our team with an experienced Family Lawyer who is able to engage and support clients with professionalism and empathy. Experience is important, but equally important is your ability to work well in a team and on your own initiative, manage multiple work streams, meet tight deadlines and communicate effectively.
The varied caseload will include divorces, financial settlements, cohabitation agreements, civil partnerships, children matters, high-value private family matters and prenuptial agreements so experience in these areas would be preferred although guidance from an experienced and supportive team is always available.
You must be a qualified and experienced Solicitor or Legal Executive, ideally at least 2 years PQE, with strong organisational, financial and IT skills, a methodical approach and a good billing record.
In return we offer a range of benefits including Resolution membership, health cash plan scheme, wellbeing support, 24/7 advice and information line, a range of learning and development opportunities, generous annual leave plus Christmas closure, enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave, selling annual leave scheme, a supportive work environment and the opportunity to join a company that cares.
To arrange an informal conversation about this role please contact the Head of Department, Jo Wilbraham, on Joanne.Wilbraham@ellis-fermor.co.uk
