This is more than just a fee-earning role. The firm is looking for someone who enjoys building long-term relationships with clients, introducers and the local community, and who is keen to play an active part in developing and growing the Private Client offering.

Whether you're a Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or an experienced Fee Earner, you'll join a collaborative and supportive team where you'll benefit from dedicated Paralegal assistance, allowing you to focus on delivering outstanding advice and building your client base.

• Estate administration
• Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Inheritance Tax and estate planning
• General Private Client advisory work

Alongside your fee-earning responsibilities, you'll enjoy building lasting relationships with clients and professional contacts, helping to further strengthen the department's reputation and continued growth.

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical ability with excellent people skills.

You'll ideally have: 

• Experience handling Wills, Probate and Estate Administration matters
• The confidence to manage your own caseload independently
• A passion for delivering exceptional client care and building long-term client relationships
• A proactive approach and enthusiasm for helping to grow the department
