Private Client Solicitor – Wills, Trusts & Probate ? Barnard Castle (County Durham)
? Full-time or Part-time | Office-based with flexible options
? Strong progression prospects | HNW & agricultural work
I’m currently working with a well-established, reputable regional law firm that is looking to expand its Private Client team at their Barnard Castle office. This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor with a passion for private client work and a desire to progress in a supportive, close-knit environment.
The Opportunity The firm’s Wills, Trusts and Probate team has seen consistent growth and enjoys an excellent reputation for high-quality client service. They act for a broad range of clients, including high-net-worth individuals, farming families, and rural landowners, and are now seeking to grow the team to meet increasing demand.
You’ll manage a varied caseload appropriate to your experience, from straightforward wills and LPAs to more complex estate and trust matters, including those involving agricultural assets and family succession planning.
This role offers genuine scope for career development, with a clear pathway to progression and full support for professional growth, including STEP qualification if desired.
Who They’re Looking For

* Confident in managing your own caseload independently
* Strong interpersonal skills and a client-focused approach
* Experience with HNW or agricultural clients is advantageous but not essential
* A team player who values a collaborative working environment
The role is primarily office-based, but the department head adopts a flexible approach to homeworking where needed. Applications are welcomed from those seeking either full-time or part-time roles—please state your preference.
Why Consider This Role?
* High-quality, interesting caseload
* Supportive, down-to-earth team culture
* Excellent career progression opportunities within a respected firm
* Stable and growing client base, particularly in rural and HNW sectors
* Beautiful North East location, perfect for a balanced lifestyle
