This opportunity offers the best of both worlds. You will join a respected local practice known for delivering exceptional client service whilst benefiting from being part of a larger legal group. This provides the stability, investment, resources and long-term career prospects often associated with much larger organisations, without losing the supportive and personable culture that makes the firm such an attractive place to work. The benefits are extensive and uniquely for the area include free parking and free electric vehicle charging.

The successful candidate will enjoy a varied and high-quality caseload, working closely with individuals and families on a broad range of private client matters. The role offers exposure to complex estate planning, trust work and high-net-worth clients, making it ideal for an ambitious solicitor looking to further develop their expertise and progress their career.

The Role

• Advising on and preparing lasting powers of attorney
• Creating, administering and advising on lifetime trusts
• Providing specialist advice in relation to vulnerable beneficiaries and potential claims against estates
• Building strong relationships with existing clients and developing new business opportunities
• Networking and promoting the firm's services within the local market
• Delivering pragmatic, empathetic and commercially focused advice
• Ensuring compliance with all regulatory and risk management requirements.

About You

Applications are welcomed from qualified Solicitors with experience in private client law. Whilst candidates with 3+ years' PQE are particularly encouraged to apply, all levels of experience will be considered.

• Trust creation, administration and advisory work
• Inheritance tax planning
• Estate planning for high-net-worth clients
• Complex estate administration and deeds of variation
• Drafting wills, including will trusts for asset protection and long-term tax planning.

You will be personable, technically strong and passionate about delivering exceptional client care. Equally important is the ability to build lasting relationships with clients and professional contacts, helping to contribute to the continued growth and success of the department.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a firm that is investing in its future. You will benefit from the support and opportunities available through a wider legal group whilst maintaining the autonomy, client contact and team culture often associated with a successful regional practice.

The firm offers:

• Competitive salary
• Flexible working arrangements
• Genuine opportunities for career progression
• Ongoing professional development and support
• A supportive and inclusive working environment
• Free parking
• Free electric vehicle charging
