Kilvington Solicitors have an exciting opportunity for a Private Client Solicitor to join the team based at our office in Kirkby Stephen. Kirkby Stephen is a thriving market town located in the beautiful Eden Valley and surrounded by the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Pennines which are all easily accessible from our town.
We are a growing firm with a strong local client base. Our excellent reputation locally has led in recent years to a wider and more national client base largely through recommendations from satisfied clients. We pride ourselves on our friendly but professional service and we are able to offer this by nurturing a positive, family atmosphere within our team.
Our clients are many and varied in their backgrounds and needs although, given the area’s focus on agriculture and tourism, estate administration and estate planning matters they often have an agricultural and/or commercial element. We deal with estates of all sizes too including very high value ones.
You would be working with a qualified probate practitioner, a private client solicitor and a consultant who between them have a wealth of experience and expertise in this area of work and who all work together collaboratively and supportively.
The successful applicant will also be able to demonstrate general private client experience with the ability to manage their own caseload including wills and probate, powers of attorney, tax and estate planning and trust matters. A sense of humour is also preferred!
The firm encourages and supports its team members to undertake professional development throughout their careers with us and for this role that could include becoming STEP-qualified if you are not already.
There is also potential for the successful applicant to be appointed as a director of the firm for a person with that ambition. Salary is dependent on experience but will be competitive.
