Job Description
Private Wealth Solicitor
National Private Wealth Specialist | Leading Legal 500 Firm with full flex
Reading
A fantastic opportunity to join the Reading office of a national private wealth specialist and highly ranked Legal 500 practice. The firm was founded by senior partners from a major national organisation and has grown rapidly, with ambitious plans to double in size over the next five years. They are quickly earning recognition for their niche expertise and groundbreaking contentious probate work.
The Reading office is led by a highly respected senior practitioner and offers a modern, friendly and genuinely non-hierarchical environment. There is no formality, no ego, and no traditional “name above the door” culture. Instead, you will find a warm, collaborative team who enjoy working together in a relaxed but high-performing environment.
One of the biggest benefits is true flexibility.
Attendance is only required when necessary, with a minimum of one day a week in the office — and complete freedom over which day you choose. Prefer more time in the office? There will always be someone around. This approach prioritises wellbeing, autonomy and life outside of work, without sacrificing cohesion.
Other standout benefits include:
• Full paralegal support to free you up for higher-value work
• A realistic chargeable hour target
• High-quality, mixed caseload with early visibility and responsibility
• Direct access to senior leadership in a non-hierarchical structure
• Clear progression opportunities in a fast-growing, ambitious national firm
• A modern, friendly culture with no stuffiness or formality
• The chance to make a genuine impact as the firm continues its national expansion
The Private Wealth team provides a full spectrum of services, including estate planning (with Family and Personal Investment Companies), Wills, Trust creation and administration, Powers of Attorney, and broader succession planning for individuals, families and businesses. Advisors take time to understand each client’s unique circumstances, deliver clear and commercially grounded advice, and support clients in protecting and passing on their wealth.
They pride themselves on long-term relationships and work closely with clients’ other professional advisors for a fully joined-up service. Many high-net-worth clients have UK and international interests, so the team’s cross-border experience ensures robust guidance wherever assets are held.
Core services include:
Tax planning and advice for individuals and families
Succession planning for businesses
Family Investment Companies
Wills of all complexities
Powers of Attorney
Probate, Estate Administration and Intestacy
Trust formation and administration
This is an ideal role for someone who wants responsibility, meaningful involvement in the firm’s continued growth, and the chance to help shape a truly unique national private wealth practice.
