Offer description

Private Client Associate
Location: Exeter
PQE: 3+ years
Contract: Permanent
Shape your future with a leading Private Client team in Exeter.

A respected and growing Private Client team in Exeter is seeking a talented Associate to support the continued expansion of its high-calibre practice. Known for delivering tailored advice on complex wills, tax, trusts and estate planning, this team acts for high-net-worth individuals, families, trustees and business owners across the South West and beyond.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a progressive, people-first law firm where you'll have access to outstanding work, supportive leadership and a clear route for long-term development.

The Role

You'll take responsibility for a varied caseload of private client matters, including estate planning, probate, lifetime gifting, trusts, and inheritance tax. You'll work closely with senior lawyers and partners on high-value and often multi-faceted instructions, while also managing your own client relationships. This is a visible and client-facing role, well-suited to someone who enjoys building trust and delivering practical, strategic advice.

You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to the broader success of the team-whether through mentoring, involvement in business development or growing your own professional network across the region.

What You'll Be Doing

* Managing a broad caseload of private client work, including wills, probate, trusts and tax planning
* Delivering a high standard of client care with clear and commercially informed advice
* Supporting senior team members on complex or high-value estate matters
* Engaging in client relationship building and profile-raising activities
* Helping to drive growth by identifying opportunities for internal collaboration and external referrals
* Contributing to team goals, with full support to achieve your own career development objectives


What They're Looking For

* A qualified solicitor with a minimum of 3 years' PQE in private client law
* Strong technical experience in wills, probate, and estate administration matters
* Organised and detail-oriented, with the confidence to manage your own files independently
* Commercially aware and client-focused, with a personable and proactive approach
* STEP membership (or a commitment to obtain it) is desirable but not essential


Why Apply?

This is a standout opportunity for a private client lawyer looking to grow their practice within a team that values both professional and personal development. With a strong local reputation, a flexible working culture, and excellent visibility across the South West market, the Exeter office is well-positioned for further growth-making this an ideal time to join.

The Package

You'll receive a competitive salary and a full benefits package, including private healthcare, generous annual leave, and hybrid working. With structured career progression and an open, inclusive culture, you'll be supported to build a long-term and rewarding future.

If you're looking for a role that offers high-quality work, real autonomy and a culture that genuinely values its people, this Exeter-based opportunity could be the perfect fit.
