The Opportunity

Lex Exec is working with a highly regarded specialist Family Law practice seeking an experienced Family Solicitor or Senior Associate to join its growing team in Farnham, Surrey.

You will have the opportunity to manage your own caseload, build strong client relationships and contribute to the continued development of the practice.

The firm places particular importance on resolving matters constructively wherever possible, while recognising the need for robust representation when circumstances require it.

Ideally 5+ years' post-qualification experience in Family Law
Strong experience in private family matters, particularly financial remedies
The ability to manage cases independently and provide clear, practical advice
Excellent client care and communication skills
A collaborative approach and a genuine interest in specialist Family Law practice
An interest in professional development and contributing to a growing team

Experience in mediation, collaborative law or other forms of non-court dispute resolution would be particularly welcome, although formal accreditation is not essential.

Applications from experienced Associates and Senior Associates are encouraged.
