Private Wealth Solicitor - 7+ PQE
Location: Islington
Type: Full-time, Permanent | Hybrid Working
As a recruiter working closely with a well-established and forward-thinking law firm in Islington, I am currently seeking an experienced Private Wealth Solicitor to join their expanding Private Client team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior solicitor (7+ years PQE) who is technically strong, commercially minded, and looking to play a key role within a progressive and collaborative firm that values both professional excellence and work-life balance.
The Role
You will take responsibility for managing your own varied and high-quality caseload, advising a broad client base that includes high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and business owners. The work is intellectually engaging and relationship-driven, with an emphasis on delivering tailored, strategic advice.
Your core responsibilities will include:
Drafting complex wills and advising on inheritance planning
Handling probate matters and full estate administration
Advising on and administering trusts
Providing clear, practical advice to clients at all stages of the private wealth lifecycle
Experience in Court of Protection and deputyship work would be welcomed, but this is not essential for the right candidate.
About You
The firm is keen to speak with solicitors who:
Are 7+ years PQE with solid private client / private wealth experience
Demonstrate strong technical knowledge across wills, probate, estates, and trusts
Are confident managing their own caseload with minimal supervision
Enjoy building long-term client relationships and working collaboratively
Take a proactive, solutions-focused approach to their work
Why This Firm?
From a recruiter's perspective, this firm stands out for its:
Supportive and collegiate culture
Genuine commitment to hybrid working
High-quality, loyal client base
Opportunity for long-term career progression within a growing department
Modern, progressive approach to private client law
This role would suit a solicitor who is looking for stability, autonomy, and the chance to make a real impact within a respected London firm
