Family Solicitor – Partner level
Location: Poole, Dorset
Working Pattern: Full-time | Hybrid working
A well-established and highly regarded Legal 500 law firm in Dorset and Somerset is seeking an experienced Family Solicitor at Partner level to join its growing Poole-based Family team.

This opportunity arises following the planned retirement of a senior partner and offers a genuine leadership role within a busy and respected family law practice. The successful candidate will be based in modern offices in central Poole and will play a key role in shaping the future of the department.
The role involves managing a high-quality caseload of family law matters, with a strong emphasis on high value financial remedy and general matrimonial work. You will also have responsibility for supervising and mentoring a small team of Solicitors and support staff, contributing to both team development and service delivery.
Regular office attendance is required due to the supervisory nature of the role; however, the firm supports flexible working, including the option to work from home.
There will be occasional local travel to other offices, court hearings, client meetings and professional networking events, offering the opportunity to further raise the profile of the family team in the local market.
This role would suit a senior Family Solicitor or existing Partner with extensive experience in private family law, particularly complex financial and matrimonial matters. Strong advocacy skills and a proven track record of attending court hearings are essential. You will be confident leading a team, developing junior lawyers and playing an active role in business development and practice growth.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior family lawyer seeking a long-term leadership position within a supportive, progressive firm that values professional development, collaboration and career progression.
My client is eager to shortlist for interviews as soon as possible, so please contact Chris Rodriguez or send your CV over by clinking on the job link.
