Job description

Overview

Job Title: Ambitious 5+ PQE lawyers with a client following

Salary: £80,000-£130,000

PQE Level: Partner

Contract Type: Permanent

Working Hours: Full-time

Chadwick Nott has a significant number of longstanding relationships spanning over 20 years with leading boutique City and West End law firms. Often these firms punch above their size in the market in terms of quality of work, profitability and earning potential and several are interested in bringing in talented associates and senior associates (minimum 5 PQE) who already have some form of client following and have the ambition and drive to build a significant practice.

At this level of practice, you will be on an upwards trajectory in terms of building the necessary practice to achieve partnership; however, you may find that for reasons outside of your control the ability to grow this is impaired or that this skill set is not valued and, as someone at 5+ PQE, you will be conscious of positioning for future partnership.

As our clients are looking for future partners and in order to differentiate from existing associates and senior associates, it is essential that you are confident of bringing a client following of at least £80-200k (depending on practice area).

What you will bring / Qualifications

• Successful candidates will have a minimum of 5 years PQE gained within a UK City or West End law firm.
• England & Wales qualified solicitor.
• Ability to bring a client following of £80-200k (depending on practice area).
• You might currently be working for a boutique firm or for a Top 50 City or US law firm and be looking for a more entrepreneurial platform, with clients who instruct you because of your personal brand rather than institutional clients.
• Demonstrated ambition and drive to build a significant practice with potential for partnership.

Support and opportunities

I can provide extensive guidance around building a business case and business planning as well as acting as a sounding board for any lawyers who have this level of following and are trying to assess whether their opportunities for partnership would be improved elsewhere.
