Job Description
Private Client Senior Associate | Farnborough, Surrey | 5+ PQE
Imagine joining a firm where your great-great-grandparents could have been clients. Now picture that same 180-year-old practice buzzing with the energy of a modern, growth-focused team that's anything but traditional.
This isn't about dusty wills and boilerplate trusts. You'll be advising business owners navigating seven-figure exits, families protecting generational wealth, and HNW clients restructuring international estates, all while helping shape a department that's genuinely on the rise.
The Role
You'll lead complex private wealth matters across this award-winning regional practice, working at the intersection of wills, trusts, tax planning and probate. Think multi-generational succession structures, not standard precedents.
The work demands technical precision, commercial instinct, and the ability to guide clients through deeply personal decisions with clarity and empathy. You'll collaborate across family law, real estate and corporate teams, mentor junior lawyers, and become a go-to voice on the thorny technical issues that keep other advisers up at night.
About You
* Private Client Solicitor 5+ PQE in private wealth or wills, trusts and probate
* Confident handling sophisticated estate planning, probate and tax matters independently
* Natural rapport-builder who balances discretion with straight-talking advice
* STEP qualified or working towards it (helpful, not essential)
What You'll Actually Get
Beyond the competitive salary and fee-earner bonus, there's free parking (genuinely underrated), 25 days plus Christmas closure, enhanced parental pay, pension, Perkbox perks and something harder to quantify: genuine investment in your development and a clear path upward in a team that's expanding, not standing still.
