Mental Capacity Senior Role | National Recognition | Central Exeter | Real Career Progression If you're a Mental Capacity specialist ready to step into a nationally recognised team with scale, structure, and serious ambition, this opportunity should grab your attention. A highly ranked specialist firm, recognised by Chambers/The Legal 500, is continuing to grow its Mental Capacity team in Exeter, looking to add a Managing Associate. The team is one of the largest dedicated Mental Capacity practices in the UK, made up of over 50 professionals, including 12 solicitors, 3 Directors, 2 Managing Associates, 1 Partner, and a wider group of paralegals, case handlers, and support staff. They manage over 1,000 active deputyships and attorneyships, handling a complex and varied caseload spanning property and affairs, contested Court of Protection work, and increasingly high-value estates. You'll be trusted to lead your own caseload, develop client relationships, support junior team members, and contribute meaningfully to strategic business development. This is not a volume-based team; it’s a focused, specialist practice that prides itself on making a tangible difference to some of the most vulnerable people in society. You’ll need a solid track record in Mental Capacity law (5 years PQE), particularly in property and affairs, and ideally experienced in supervision or mentoring. The firm has a progressive and collaborative culture, offering hybrid working, typically with two days in the office, and are open to flexible arrangements. Full-time or part-time applicants will be considered. In return, the firm offers a highly competitive salary and bonuses, and a generous benefits package that includes 26 days’ holiday BH (with the option to buy more), enhanced pension, income protection, health cash plan, and a strong focus on wellbeing and work-life balance.
