Private Client Solicitor, 3+ years PQE – Agriculture & Landed Estates Team
We are seeking a Private Client Solicitor to join our busy Agriculture and Landed Estates Team.
Ideally you will have some agricultural client experience but not essential. This role requires advising clients with tax planning advice, as well as advice on inheritance and capital gains tax savings. The role will require providing clients with tax‑efficient solutions in areas such as passing wealth to future generations, as well as advising on the formation and drafting of trust documents and family partnerships.

The role is to assist a Partner with an established caseload, working in conjunction with, and independently of, the Partner concerned.

* In‑depth understanding of the use of trusts and settlements within tax planning and asset protection.
* Ability to draft related bespoke documents and a significant enjoyment of this aspect of the work.
* Expertise in matters of tax efficiency and planning, especially the use of trusts, and a real passion to work in this area of the law.
* Experience managing own workload effectively, particularly in a pressurised environment.
* Strong organisational skills.
