Associate – Trust & Estate Disputes (3–4 PQE) | London | Top-ranked team | High-quality contentious work
This is a chance to join a renowned, top-ranked Trust & Estate Disputes team in London that is looking to hire an Associate at around 3–4 years’ PQE as part of its continued growth.
This is a specialist contentious role, sitting within one of the strongest private client disputes practices in the market.
The work is exclusively focused on Contentious Trusts and Estates, including complex estate and trust disputes and Court of Protection matters. As such, this role will suit a lawyer who has already built solid, hands-on experience in this area and is keen to deepen their expertise within a leading team.
The team is well known for acting on high-value, sensitive and often multi-jurisdictional disputes, and for providing a genuinely supportive, collegiate environment alongside first-rate technical work. It’s an excellent platform for an associate who wants to develop a long-term career in private client disputes without sacrificing quality of life.
The role offers:
* A position within a top-ranked, market-leading Trust & Estate Disputes practice
* High-quality Contentious Trusts & Estates and Court of Protection work
* Exposure to complex, high-value matters and excellent client contact
* A collaborative, friendly and highly professional team culture
* Strong remuneration aligned with leading City / top-tier firms
* Clear scope for development and progression within a specialist practice
This opportunity would suit an associate currently at a top-tier or ranked firm who is looking to refine their specialism, work closely with recognised leaders in the field, and be part of a genuinely high-calibre disputes practice.
