About the role
Family Department | Full-time | Highly Attractive Remuneration Package + Bonus | Manchester
About The Role
Are you an ambitious Family Law solicitor ready to build and lead a Family Law practice within a modern, entrepreneurial firm?
We are looking for a Family Law Partner to establish, grow and lead our Family Law offering in Manchester. This is a genuine opportunity to shape a practice from an early stage — taking ownership of the Manchester family caseload, setting its strategic direction, and building it into a full team with the firm’s backing. The role would suit a lawyer who wants the autonomy to build something of their own, supported by the resources and expertise of an established, forward-thinking firm.
Prosperity Law continues to grow across multiple practice areas, supported by real investment in technology, digital infrastructure and business development. You would join a firm that backs its lawyers to build — with a capable and committed in-house marketing and business-development team, and continued investment in both.

Core Responsibilities
Building & Leading the Practice
- Establish and grow the Manchester Family Law practice, setting its strategic direction.

- Develop and grow your own caseload, building the department’s client base and market presence in Manchester and beyond.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with referrers, introducers, professional contacts and existing clients.
- Work alongside the marketing team on content, thought leadership, networking and profile-raising activities.
- Manage a varied caseload of privately funded family matters, including complex and high-value cases — divorce, financial remedy matters, private children matters, cohabitation disputes, and pre- and post-nuptial agreements.

- Qualified Solicitor with significant experience in privately funded Family Law.
- Strong technical expertise across a broad range of privately funded family matters, including complex and high-value work.

- Excellent communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Exceptional client-care standards.
