Job description

I am recruiting on behalf of a highly regarded Legal 500 law firm with a strong regional presence and national recognition for a Contentious Probate Solicitor with 2+ years' PQE.

The firm's contentious probate practice is an important and growing area of the business. You will join a specialist team advising on a broad range of complex and high-value estate, will and trust disputes, including Inheritance Act claims, proprietary estoppel and agricultural succession matters.

As you progress, there will also be opportunities to take on greater responsibility, develop your technical expertise and mentor more junior members of the team.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Clear and genuine career progression opportunities
• Flexibility around location and hybrid working
• Exposure to high-quality, complex and often high-value contentious probate work
• The opportunity to develop within a growing and strategically important practice area
• Support and mentoring from experienced litigators and private wealth specialists
• A collaborative and down-to-earth working environment

Experience in areas such as Inheritance Act claims, will disputes, trust disputes, proprietary estoppel or agricultural succession would be advantageous, although applications are welcome from solicitors with broader litigation experience and a genuine interest in developing their contentious probate expertise.

The firm is committed to continuing the growth of its contentious probate and inheritance disputes offering. You will have the opportunity to work alongside highly experienced and recognised specialists, including practitioners with ACTAPS and STEP expertise, while developing your own profile within this specialist area.
