Location: Liverpool, Merseyside, GB, L3 8

Position Available Until: 2026-12-19T19:00:38.18

Family Lawyer / Family Solicitor 4-6 Years' PQE

Merseyside offices in Liverpool and Southport | Hybrid Working

Not every family lawyer wants a bigger caseload. Some want better cases. Others want greater autonomy. The best lawyers are often looking for both. Some want to work alongside lawyers who genuinely influence the future of family law. And some want to help clients through life's most challenging moments while still having a life of their own. At Napthens, we're looking for a Family Lawyer or Solicitor (ideally 4-6 years' PQE) to join our growing Merseyside family team. You'll work closely with Matthew Taylor, one of the North West's leading specialists in financial remedies, complex divorce, and cohabitation disputes. At the same time, you'll have the autonomy and trust to manage your own caseload and build your own profile within the team. This isn't a role where you'll spend your days handling straightforward matters from start to finish. Instead, you'll have exposure to:

• High-value financial remedy cases


• Divorce matters involving businesses, trusts, and pensions


• Complex cohabitation disputes


• Pre- and post-nuptial agreements


• International family law issues


• Private children matters

Matthew is recognised by Legal 500, contributes nationally to family law reform discussions, regularly appears in the media and on podcasts, and works closely with therapists, counsellors, and specialist advisers to ensure clients receive support through every stage of relationship breakdown. You'll be joining a family team that combines technical excellence with genuine compassion, working across Lancashire, Merseyside, and Greater Manchester.

What we're looking for

• Qualified Solicitor or Lawyer (approximately 4-6 years' PQE)


• Strong experience in privately funded family work


• Comfortable managing your own caseload


• Strong financial remedy experience desirable


• Someone who enjoys building trusted client relationships


• Able to spend 2-3 days per week in Liverpool and Southport office

Why Napthens?

• Quality work without the city-firm culture


• Genuine flexibility and hybrid working


• Opportunity to work directly alongside an industry-recognised Family Partner


• Strong referral network and established client base


• Clear progression opportunities


• Supportive and collaborative culture


• A platform to develop your own profile and career

Looking for something more than your next job? If you're looking for high-quality family work, genuine flexibility, and the opportunity to learn from one of the region's leading specialists while building your own reputation, we'd love to talk.
