Family Lawyer | Devon | Shape Your Own Role Within a Leading Regional Firm

If you’re an experienced Family Solicitor or CILEx lawyer (5+ years running your own caseload) and you want more autonomy, progression, and more meaning in your day-to-day work - this is the kind of role that doesn’t come around often (and could be for you).

You’d be joining one of the South West’s most established and trusted law firms. With 13 offices across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, and over £16 million in annual turnover, they’re big enough to offer stability, resources and a steady pipeline of work - while still keeping a close-knit, people-first culture that puts clients and colleagues at the heart of everything. They’ve built a reputation over decades for being community-focused. This is a firm that grows sustainably, invests in its people, and promotes from within.

The opportunity in Exmouth is to join a well-established family team with a strong presence in the local community and real potential for further growth. You'll be working across a broad range of family matters (divorce, separation, finances, cohabitee disputes, children work, civil partnerships) and stepping into a role where you'll be valued.

But the real selling point here? You’ll have the freedom to shape the role around you. Whether you’re looking for a better work-life balance, the chance to lead and mentor, or a clear path to Associate or Partner, you'll be supported!

The setup is flexible - full or part-time, with hybrid working options. You’ll be working alongside experienced lawyers and well-trained support staff, with access to smart systems and a collaborative network of colleagues across the region. You’ll also be well looked after, with a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement, enhanced family-friendly benefits, private medical, life assurance, and all the practical things you’d expect from a modern, people-centric firm.
