Family Solicitor
David
Appleby had a serious medical problem in the autumn. Following an
emergency operation he returned to work. He now needs a follow-up
operation and has decided to take the opportunity to retire from the
profession.
Well-known local solicitor Michele Taylor has been keeping the
department running but young children prevent her from taking a full
time job.
We therefore seek a Family Lawyer Advocate.
There is a full mixed workload. The department is well established.
In the current economic and Legal Aid situation we have to remain
flexible as far as plans to enlarge it are concerned.
The applicant will need to be experienced in Children and Ancillary
Relief, both Private and Legal Aid.
We have
studied the new LSC contracting arrangements, we expect to apply for
an receive about 75 matter starts under the new regime. The
cashiers department and the department secretary are fully conversant
with the legal aid formalities.
Local experience and a knowledge of the local professional and court
personnel would be an advantage.
The post needs a person qualified to be the Legal Aid supervisor and a
member of The law Society Children panel and/or a Resolution
accredited specialist.
The suitable candidate may be an assistant solicitor due for
advancement or someone already in a senior position. He or she will
have a good manner with clients, colleagues and fellow professionals,
an established work ethic, earning ability, the ability to manage a
department and also to take an active role in the management of the
firm generally.
The approach has to be friendly and problem-solving but with the
ability to fight hard when the parties reach the end of negotiations
without solution.
The solicitor is supported by a very able secretary, fully cognisant
of the files as well as by efficient accounts and reception services
and a friendly, respected group of colleagues.
Salary will depend on the applicant’s ability and qualifications but
will exceed £37000 pa.
