RARE OPPORTUNITY: Private Client Lawyer - 100% REMOTE
Top 200 UK Law Firm | £50,000-£75,000
Let's be honest about remote work in legal.
Most firms talk a good game about "flexibility" but what they really mean is "we expect to see your face in the office three days a week."
This private client position is different. And I mean actually different, not recruitment-speak different.
Two lawyers I placed there haven't seen their office in months. They're not hiding - the firm knows exactly where they are.
When most legal recruiters say "remote," they mean "occasional WFH privileges granted by a slightly progressive partner who still thinks email is cutting edge."
This is genuine work-from-anywhere. Devon beach hut? Fine. Scottish Highlands? No problem. Your mum's spare room in Newcastle? Whatever works.
Here's why this isn't the usual recruitment jargon:
1. The team keeps growing because clients actually like what they do. Novel concept.
2. You need WiFi. That's it. No "we need you in for client meetings" small print.
3. Remote workers get the same promotions as office dwellers. I've seen it happen.
4. They're hiring because they're busy, not because someone fled after 6 months.
This Top 200 firm somehow managed what others claim is impossible - discovering that lawyers can draft documents effectively without being physically supervised. Revolutionary.
Unlike most remote setups where you're essentially a legal freelancer with benefits, you'll be properly integrated. The team actually communicates with each other and you will feel included.
Shocking, I know.
If you're a 3+ PQE Private Client Solicitor/Associate or Senior Associate doing private client work and sick of commuting or office politics, this is worth your time.
£50,000-£75,000 DOE for genuinely working wherever you want? That's about as rare as a hiring manager who doesn't say "we want the best talent" while offering average salary.
