The Opportunity
This is more than a leadership role - it's a chance to shape the future of a department where quality, empathy, and community come first. You'll take ownership of a well-established Private Client offering, guiding a small and capable team through a caseload that includes:
Wills and lifetime planning
Probate and estate administration
Trusts and tax considerations
Lasting Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection work
Your voice will matter here. You'll have the autonomy to grow the team, refine processes, and nurture long-term relationships with clients who value continuity and care.

Someone who enjoys being part of a close-knit, collaborative environment
Why This Firm?
Boutique setting where individuality and integrity are valued
Supportive leadership and strong secretarial support
Hybrid working with a beautiful Cardiff Bay office base
Long-term career stability and partnership potential
This role would suit a Private Client lawyer who loves the craft of client care as much as the law itself - someone who thrives on relationships, not volume.
