This is an extremely rare opportunity for a junior assistant to join one of the country's premier family law teams. You will undertake purely private funded work and receive excellent ongoing training and support from leading experts.

Aside from academic ability, the successful candidate will have inherent soft skills, i.e. the ability to be empathetic with clients who are going through emotional turmoil and adopt a strong stance which is at the same time conciliatory in its approach.

In terms of caseload, you will deal with the whole range of family matters:

• Divorce and separation
• Financial disputes
• Maintenance and property settlements
• Effects of taxation, pensions and insurance arrangements
• Cohabitation agreements
• Property disputes between co-owners
• Applications concerning children
• Domestic violence Injunctions
• Mediation referral

This is a superb opportunity to join a firm which is committed to this demanding yet fulfilling area of law and work in an environment which is both supportive and collegiate.
