Cambridge | Hybrid Working | Urgent Appointment
Are you an experienced Private Client lawyer looking to work on genuinely complex, high-value matters within one of the region’s most highly regarded and fast-growing teams?
We are working with a leading law firm seeking a Senior Associate to join its expanding Private Client team in Cambridge. This is an exceptional opportunity for a technically strong lawyer who enjoys sophisticated advisory work, close collaboration with respected senior lawyers, and building long-term relationships with high-net-worth clients.
Importantly, this is a live and urgent requirement with a shortlisting process already underway. The firm is moving quickly, so early applications or conversations are strongly encouraged.
The Opportunity
This highly ranked Private Client team advises a broad range of clients including:
* High-net-worth individuals
* Trustees and family offices
* Entrepreneurs and business owners
* Landowners and multi-generational families
The work is varied, intellectually engaging and often cross-disciplinary, with regular collaboration alongside colleagues in corporate, real estate and family law.
You will handle a broad range of complex private client matters including:
* Estate and succession planning
* Inheritance tax and capital gains tax planning
* Complex wills and estate structuring
* Trust creation and administration
* Trustee powers, duties and disputes-related advisory work
Alongside managing your own caseload, you will work closely with highly respected senior lawyers on significant matters and play a visible role in the continued growth of the team.
About You
The firm is keen to hear from Private Client lawyers with 4+ PQE, ideally gained within a respected regional, national or City firm environment.
You will likely have:
* Strong technical private client experience
* Experience advising HNW individuals, trustees or business owners
* Confidence managing your own matters independently
* Excellent interpersonal and client relationship skills
* A collaborative and commercially aware approach
STEP qualification, or progress towards it, would be advantageous but is not essential.
This role would particularly suit someone looking to step into a more sophisticated and rewarding quality of work while remaining within a supportive and modern culture.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Market-leading private client work
* High-quality HNW and complex advisory caseload
* Collaborative and genuinely supportive team culture
* Strong progression prospects within a growing department
* Hybrid working and sensible flexibility
* Opportunity to work closely with highly regarded senior lawyers
Benefits
The firm offers an excellent and genuinely competitive benefits package, including:
* Firm-wide annual bonus linked to financial performance
* Generous pension with salary sacrifice options
* Five weeks’ annual leave plus the option to buy or sell additional leave
* Additional leave for life events including moving house and weddings
* Bonus sabbatical-style leave for long service
* Enhanced maternity, adoption, shared parental and paternity pay
* Life assurance and income protection
* Employee assistance and counselling support
* Flexible benefits platform allowing tailored reward choices
Interested? Apply Early
This is a priority hire and the firm may close the process early once sufficient applications are received.

Even if you are only tentatively considering a move, this is the sort of opportunity worth exploring sooner rather than later.
