An ambitious and flexible Family Solicitor/Executive is required to join a successful and cohesive team within a top Sussex firm.

About you:

* You will have a relevant professional qualification and/or equivalent experience in a range of private Family law areas including divorce, financial remedy, pre/post nuptial agreements, children act proceedings, TOLATA and cohabitation agreements.
* A qualification in collaborative law and/or mediation would be beneficial but is not essential.
* Business development and networking skills are essential in order to participate actively in seeking new business, building relationships with potential clients, contacts and referrers and developing the firm as a whole.
* A high standard of interpersonal and communication skills is vital, especially in the context of client care.

The role:

* Working closely with the busy Eastbourne Family team and the wider department, you will be managing instructions from existing clients and also dealing with new clients from introduction to matter conclusion.
* Whilst the role is permanent, initially you will provide maternity cover for one of the Associate Solicitors based at Eastbourne, after which it is likely the office base will change to another of the Sussex offices, depending on business need and the workloads of the Family team at that time. Applicants must therefore be prepared to be based at locations outside of Eastbourne.

Please note that the salary band has been set by the agency and should therefore be viewed as a guide. Candidates with any level of relevant experience are welcome to apply.
