There will also be opportunities to be involved in advocacy, and candidates with Higher Rights of Audience or strong advocacy experience will be highly regarded.
The firm offers:
- No billable hour targets - focus on delivering excellent client care
- Hybrid working: typically 2 days in the office and 3 from home (flexible and open to discussion, including earlier access post-joining)
- Part-time or reduced hours considered
- Standard hours of 9:00am - 5:30pm
- Generous holiday allowance including bank holidays and Christmas closure
- Free parking and convenient location just off Wokingham High Street
- A genuinely supportive, close-knit and professional team environment
The ideal candidate will be:
- Qualified Solicitor or CILEX with 2+ years' PQE in private family law
- Comfortable managing your own caseload independently
- Strong client care and communication skills
- Advocacy experience or Higher Rights of Audience (desirable but not essential)
