A unique opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and driven Senior Associate/Partner with 10+ PQE to join our esteemed client’s family law division based in Chester.

In the role of Family Senior Associate/Partner, you will handle private work and finances, striving to build a caseload from scratch, though with the potential for some existing capacity to pass on initially.
