Job Description:
Are you a Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive with a strong track record in estate planning, probate, and client relationship management? We’re working with a forward-thinking, regional, Legal 500 firm that’s expanding its private client team. This is your chance to step into a senior role with real impact and autonomy.
This position is ideal for someone with at least 5 years’ PQE handling a broad range of private client matters, seeking to join a stable, supportive, and growing team.
Your Role Will Include:
* Handling complex wills, trusts, inheritance tax planning, LPAs, and probate
* Advising a varied client base including high-net-worth individuals and professionals
* Playing an active part in strategy, client development, and practice growth
* Supporting and mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to a team culture
* Involvement in trust management and, if desired, Court of Protection work
What We’re Looking For:
* A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with 5+ years in private client law
* Strong commercial awareness and ability to simplify complex matters for clients
* A collaborative approach with natural leadership and mentoring skills
* Confidence managing a varied and often high-value caseload
* Willingness to travel locally for client visits as required
* STEP membership (or working toward it) is desirable but not essential
Why This Role Stands Out:
* Work closely with a dedicated paralegal to reduce admin load
* Genuine progression opportunities in a growing department
* Hybrid working model
* A strong internal support network focused on wellbeing and career satisfaction
* A team that values community engagement and high-quality client service
What You’ll Get:
* A salary that reflects your experience and expertise
* A collaborative and forward-thinking working culture
* Access to professional development and clear advancement pathways
* Strong internal referrals from property, commercial, and litigation departments
If you’re looking for a role that offers more than just a caseload, one that values your ideas, leadership, and long-term vision, we’d love to hear from you.
