This forward-thinking, modern and highly successful firm based in the heart of Chelmsford, Essex, is seeking an experienced Family Solicitor to head-up its Family team.

This role is a perfect springboard for a Senior Associate, or Partner, seeking an opportunity to take the helm of the Family Department during an exciting period of growth and opportunity.
