Dear Hiring Manager,
A long-established Norfolk firm seeking a Family Solicitor to head its family department is precisely the next step I have been working towards. With 3+ years PQE in predominantly public law children proceedings and active membership of both the Family and Children panels, I am well placed to take ownership of this role from day one and provide confident supervision to a trainee solicitor.
My background in family law encompasses complex care proceedings, divorce, and financial remedies matters across a busy regional caseload. I have experience managing files from pre-proceedings through to final hearing and have supported junior colleagues in developing their advocacy and drafting skills, which I understand is central to this position.
