Family Litigation Solicitor

The firm has an opening for an experienced Family Litigation Solicitor to join our team. The successful candidate will enjoy a varied and stimulating breadth of work and would take on existing client matters, as well as build their own caseload. The candidate should ideally have been qualified for at least 5 years and have a track record in effectively running an independent caseload. Experience of practice and procedure in both financial and children cases will be an advantage, as will having substantial experience in conducting advocacy.

The practice has a strong, long-established reputation and history across the area and benefits from having offices situated in the major towns of North Devon.
