The Role:

We are looking for a talented Private Client Solicitor with a minimum of 1 years’ post qualification experience, or a Legal Executive with private client experience, who is keen to learn and progress. The successful Private Client Solicitor will have worked across a range of private client matters and will have experience advising on and drafting Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney and dealing with probate and administration of estates.

You will have experience of dealing with a variety of frequently complex matters simultaneously, often under pressure, and will be keen to further build your technical knowledge and experience.

The Opportunity:

This provides you with the scope to develop your technical skills and take full ownership of your work, working alongside and receiving on-going training and development from four Senior Lawyers, while being supported by a dedicated team of Paralegals.
