Looking for a Private Client role where you're valued as an individual, supported by a friendly team and rewarded with benefits that genuinely make a difference?
Our client offers an opportunity to join an established and well-regarded legal practice where a positive working environment, high standards of client care and a strong team ethos go hand in hand. With a culture built around mutual respect, collaboration and professional development, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Private Client Solicitor looking for their next career move.
And the benefits are well worth a closer look:
- 23 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, with additional holiday awarded for length of service.
- Paid Christmas shutdown - enjoy several days off over Christmas without having to use your annual leave.
- An extra paid day off for your birthday - because everyone deserves a little something special.
- Health and life insurance benefits to support your wellbeing and provide added peace of mind.
Combined with a friendly, supportive working culture, this is an opportunity to develop your career in an environment where colleagues are encouraged to work together, share ideas and contribute to the ongoing success of the team.
Our client is seeking an experienced Private Client Solicitor who can confidently manage a varied caseload, deliver exceptional client service and build lasting relationships with clients and professional contacts.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing a diverse caseload covering Wills, inheritance tax planning, trusts, Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection applications, probate and estate administration.
- Providing clear, practical advice, keeping clients informed throughout their matters and ensuring costs are communicated transparently.
- Managing files efficiently, maintaining accurate records and working in line with regulatory requirements and established quality standards.
- Building strong relationships with clients, external organisations and professional referrers to help develop and grow the practice.
- Taking responsibility for billing, time recording, financial management and the progression of your own matters.
- Supporting and supervising a Legal Assistant, encouraging their professional development and contributing to their ongoing wellbeing.
- Contributing positively to departmental meetings, team initiatives and the continued development of the Private Client offering.
You'll be an experienced Private Client Solicitor, ideally with 3 years+ PQE, and with a strong understanding of private client matters and the confidence to manage your own caseload with minimal supervision.
You'll combine technical expertise with a personable, approachable manner, excellent communication skills and a genuine commitment to delivering a high standard of client care. Strong organisational skills, commercial awareness and the ability to build trusted relationships will be important, alongside a collaborative approach and a willingness to support colleagues.
This is about more than simply moving to another legal practice. It's an opportunity to join a team that values its people, offers meaningful benefits and provides the scope to make a positive contribution to both client outcomes and the wider business.
