Family Solicitor

Family Solicitor / Fee Earner | Chichester

Some family law roles are about volume and billing targets. This one's about being the person families trust when everything feels uncertain.

A well-established Sussex firm with offices along the coast is expanding its Family Law team in Chichester. You'll handle divorce, financial settlements, children arrangements, and cohabitation disputes for clients who need clear, compassionate advice during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

This isn't a factory. It's a firm where families have returned for generations, where your work genuinely impacts people's futures, and where you're supported to develop, not just bill.

The Work

Expect variety, autonomy, and real client relationships:

• Manage your own caseload: divorce, finances, children matters, cohabitation disputes
• Deliver sensitive, solution-focused advice to clients navigating emotionally charged situations
• Work independently while collaborating with an experienced, supportive team
• Get involved in business development and local networking to build your profile

You'll have genuine responsibility and the backing to handle it well.

About You

• Qualified Solicitor, Legal Executive, or experienced Family Law Paralegal
• Strong communicator with real empathy: you're a people person, not just a technician
• Organised, proactive, comfortable managing your own files
• Looking for a regional practice with community roots, not corporate detachment

On Offer

• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
• 25 days + bank holidays + birthday leave + Christmas closure
• Performance bonuses
• Free parking at all offices
• Employee benefits and wellbeing programme
• Regular social events and a genuinely welcoming culture

This is a firm where your voice is heard, clients value your guidance, and you can build a meaningful career in the heart of Chichester's legal community, with coastal living, good schools, and actual work-life balance.
