Apply now Opportunity to handle high-quality, complex HNW cases Chance to work within a Legal 500 team Comprehensive training contract available with SQE/CILEx funding Great blend of flexibility and office working in Warrington

A highly-respected Legal 500 firm is seeking a Private Family Paralegal / Fee Earner to join their tight-knit team in Warrington.

As part of this dynamic team, you’ll be predominantly assisting a highly experienced partner, although building your name to independently handle cases is encouraged. You’ll inherit a robust caseload, including international work, while aiming to hit time record targets, with no pressure for billing.

To thrive in this role, you need to show prior family law experience and demonstrate the capacity to handle complex, HNW cases efficiently. You’ll also need to possess a collaborative and down-to-earth personality to seamlessly fit into the existing team.

In turn, you’ll reap the rewards of being part of an inclusive and supportive team that offers genuine career progression (including potential qualification opportunities), balanced working hours, and a healthy work-life balance. Plus, free parking and 20 days holiday, including bank holidays and Christmas closure.

If you’re a legal professional looking to expand your experience within a supportive, family-friendly environment, this is the role for you. Apply today to accelerate your journey.
