Solicitor and mediator needed Exeter

I founded my own practice with a mission statement to practice family law in a progressive and innovative way.

We are committed to family law and the use of mediation and the principles of Resolution. We are genuine team: Personality is very important.

We all need to work together and enjoy each others company. We have a flat structure and make good use of IT and cloud based technology. This means that we are adaptable and flexible.

Home working and smart working is encouraged. As specialists we know our area of work and can innovate. We are not competing against other departments or inertia in a multi discipline practice.

But we are serious lawyers who want to be the best at what we do. We have access to a premium law library and practice support. Gaining and maintaining panel memberships is encouraged.

There are definite partnership opportunities.

We have been successful in generating a good flow of both Legal Work and Mediation Work and there are clearly opportunities to generate more. We are receive referrals from satisfied clients and by word of mouth.

In the last four and half years we have come a long way and there is clearly room for further growth.

We have the following opportunities:

Solicitor: divorce and finance specialist

We are looking for a solicitor with:

• Good academic background.
• Good grounding in divorce/finance law (ideally within a larger practice/team)
• Good IT skills
• A team player with sense of humour
• Passion for family law

Genuine long term opportunities.

Solicitor: Experienced – Fee Share

We are looking for solicitors with:

• Good and experienced family law specialists with a track record
• Probably with partnership experience but fed up with glass ceilings, partnership politics, management – who just want to do the work they enjoyed doing in the first place without having to put up with the nonsense.
• A desire to work flexibly and willingness to fee share
• Good IT skills
• A team player
• Passion for family law

Genuine partnership opportunity if wanted.

Help me grow the business and have greater control of your future.

Small and Relaxed

We are looking for the right personalities, who are able to work hard and effectively but can have a laugh at the same time.

Ideally we will have a team of around 8 lawyers. We want to be a team, working for each other, with the ability to adapt to changes in the market. Neither too big or too small, but just right!

Realistic Targets

We like fee sharing: the advantage of fee sharing is the we are not going to pressure you to earn fees of £150,000 or more. We will work together for our mutual long term advantage.
