PLT STUDENT | LAW GRADUATE | JUNIOR LAWYER
[Seeking someone with a passion for family law]
Future Family Lawyers is looking for our newest team member to join their family law firm.
Along with the Practice Manager, another Solicitor, and an administrative officer - you will bring your academic and/or practical family law experience, and passion for family law to join the busy team.
Whether you are already admitted, awaiting admission, or still doing your PLT.... we want to hear from you.
You will have either studied family law or had some experience in family law (or both!) and be looking to embark on your journey as a dedicated and empathetic family lawyer.
