Contentious Probate Partner – 4-Day Week | Up to £100k | Fully Remote or Office-Based
Are you a seasoned contentious probate solicitor ready to lead your own department—with complete autonomy, flexibility, and a forward‑thinking firm behind you? This is a rare opportunity to build and grow a contentious probate practice within a modern, tech‑driven law firm already well‑established in private client services. With an existing client base and rising demand for complex, high‑value cases—particularly with international and cross‑border elements—you’ll have the foundation and support to make this your own.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
* 4‑day workweek, full salary – Redefine your work‑life balance without compromise.
* Full autonomy – Lead a department your way, with the support of cutting‑edge legal technology.
* High‑calibre work – Handle complex, international probate disputes for discerning clients.
* Work anywhere – Choose between fully remote or in‑office work to suit your lifestyle.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Launch and lead a new contentious probate department from the ground up.
* Handle complex and high‑value probate disputes, many with international dimensions.
* Play a key role in business development, bringing in new work and growing a client base.
* Use advanced legal tech and case management systems—no secretarial support required.
* Collaborate with a progressive, agile team of private client specialists.
What We’re Looking For
* 8+ years’ PQE in contentious probate (Solicitor or Legal Executive).
* Proven experience with high‑value, cross‑border probate disputes.
* A strategic mindset and enthusiasm for business development.
* Existing client relationships or a strong network within the field.
* Leadership experience and the ability to mentor a growing team.
* Tech‑savvy and comfortable working in a paperless, agile environment.
Salary & Benefits
* Up to £100,000, plus performance bonuses.
* 4‑day workweek at 100% pay – industry‑leading flexibility.
* Fully remote or office‑based – you choose.
* A dynamic, collaborative, and client‑focused firm culture.
* Access to the latest legal tech and a virtual co‑working environment.
* Support for business development and personal professional growth.
