Private Client Solicitor

Love Private Client law, but fancy something beyond just managing a caseload?

What if your next role gave you the opportunity to build relationships, develop new business and genuinely make your mark?

I’m working with a well-established, highly regarded law firm looking to bring an experienced Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive into its Corby office.

And this opportunity is a little different.

They’re looking for someone who enjoys the legal work but also has a commercial mindset - Someone who likes getting out there, meeting people, building a network and spotting opportunities to grow a business.

So, what would you be doing?

You’ll manage your own Private Client caseload, covering areas such as:

• Wills and estate planning

• Probate and estate administration

• Inheritance Tax planning

• Lasting Powers of Attorney

• Trusts

You’ll need to be technically confident and comfortable managing your files independently, with minimal supervision.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

The opportunity is to help grow the Private Client offering in Corby.

You’ll work alongside the firm’s established Commercial team, developing relationships with business clients and professional contacts and identifying opportunities to introduce Private Client services.

That could mean networking, building referral relationships, strengthening existing client connections or simply being the person who sees an opportunity and makes something happen.

You’ll have the backing of an established firm and Commercial team, but also the scope to develop the practice and make the role your own.

Who would suit this?

Ideally, you’ll be a Solicitor or Legal Executive with 3+ years’ PQE and experience across mainstream Private Client matters.

More importantly, you’ll be someone who is:

• Confident managing their own caseload

• Commercially minded and proactive

• Comfortable networking and building professional relationships

• Interested in business development and growing a client base

• Happy to take ownership and make things happen

You don’t need to be someone who loves standing up in a room pitching to 100 people! But you should enjoy talking to people, building trust and recognising where relationships could lead to new opportunities.

A little about the location

The Corby office is conveniently located out of town, with parking directly outside - A practical bonus for those travelling around Northamptonshire to meet clients and contacts.

Why consider it?

Because not everyone wants to spend their entire career simply managing files.

If you’re commercially minded, enjoy the people side of law and want the opportunity to help grow a practice rather than just slot into one, this could be a great next step.
