This position would suit a qualified Solicitor with up to four years' PQE who has gained experience in contentious probate, litigation or private client work and is keen to develop specialist expertise in contentious trusts and estates. Strong communication skills, a proactive approach and a genuine interest in this area of law are essential.

In return, you’ll benefit from a competitive salary based on experience, flexible and hybrid working arrangements, exposure to high-quality specialist work, ongoing mentoring and supervision, and clear opportunities for career progression within a supportive and collaborative team.
