Job Description

Ready for a Family law role where your expertise is trusted, your ideas are welcomed and your ambition is supported? Join our established Kent-based Family team in Canterbury and take the next step in a career with genuine autonomy, progression and impact.

You will manage a varied caseload of private Family matters, delivering practical, client-focused advice while playing an active part in the continued success of the wider team. With a reliable flow of high-quality work, you will have the scope to shape your role and make a visible contribution from day one.

We are looking for someone with at least 5 years’ PQE gained in a busy Family law practice, together with sound technical expertise, good judgement and a practical approach. You will be committed to excellent client service and collaborative working. Collaborative law training, Resolution membership or a Family Law mediation qualification would be welcome, but none is essential.

You will join a busy, close-knit and supportive team, with a high degree of autonomy and the freedom to shape your role. There are clear opportunities to progress and build a rewarding long-term career, alongside a competitive salary and benefits package. Hybrid working options are also available.

As a B Corp-certified business, we are committed to creating a positive impact for our people, clients, communities and the environment. That includes investing in the development and wellbeing of our team, so you can do your best work and continue to grow.

Ready to take the next step? We would be delighted to hear from you. Please send your CV and a short cover letter to joanneforbes@wmlaw.uk.
