We're looking for solicitors/fee earners to join our specialist probate team within Co-op Legal Services at a variety of levels.
At Co-op Legal Services we do things differently - we're future-focussed, we're committed to providing an exceptional client experience, and we're passionate about developing our colleagues.
In this role, you'll manage a varied caseload of probate cases from start to finish, with a client-focussed approach to targets. You won't need to bring a following of clients with you as we will source new work for you.

* own caseload of probate cases varying in complexity end to end, using a case management system and artificial intelligence tools
* use our case management system to make sure information is recorded accurately
* engage with clients mainly by telephone and email
* work collaboratively with expert support from the team to continually develop your legal skills, administrative support will also be provided
* use your legal knowledge to mentor more junior members of the team
This role would suit people who have
* qualified as a solicitor or legal executive in private practice (CILEX or STEP qualification), or have the equivalent experience in probate law
* the ability to use your initiative and effectively prioritise and organise your work in a fast-paced and high-volume environment
* a client-focused approach with the ability to build positive relationships in a remote setting
