Are you an experienced Contentious Probate Partner looking for the opportunity to build and lead a specialist team?

A highly regarded regional law firm is looking to appoint a Senior Contentious Probate Lawyer / Partner to take responsibility for the continued development and growth of its Contentious Trusts & Probate offering.

This is an exciting opportunity for an established CTP Partner with a proven track record of generating work, who is looking for the autonomy and platform to build a successful practice.

The existing CTP team consists of a Solicitor and Associate, providing an established foundation from which to grow. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape the team, set its direction and develop a leading contentious probate practice.

The role

You will be responsible for:

• Managing a varied caseload of complex and high-value contentious probate matters.
• Generating your own work and developing new business opportunities.
• Building and maintaining strong client and professional relationships.
• Leading, supervising and mentoring the existing CTP team.
• Developing the size and profile of the practice.
• Working closely with the firm's highly regarded Private Client team to maximise referral opportunities.
• Collaborating with the wider Litigation team on complex and high-value disputes.
• Establishing and implementing the strategic direction of the CTP practice.

The ideal candidate

The firm is particularly interested in speaking to existing Contentious Probate Partners who are looking for a genuine opportunity to build and lead a specialist practice.

You should have:

• 8+ years' PQE.
• A strong 100% Contentious Trusts & Probate practice.
• A proven track record of handling high-value and complex cases.
• An established network and demonstrable ability to generate your own work.
• Experience of leading, mentoring and developing lawyers.
• Excellent client relationship and business development skills.
• The ambition and commercial acumen to grow a specialist team.

The key requirement is that you are able to lead a sub-team and develop the CTP offering, rather than simply manage an existing caseload.

The firm

You will be joining a well-established and ambitious regional firm with an excellent reputation across Private Client and Litigation.

The firm has a highly regarded Private Client practice, providing an excellent internal referral network, whilst the wider Litigation team is also highly ranked and regularly handles complex and high-profile matters.

This provides the successful candidate with the support and infrastructure to develop their practice, whilst retaining the autonomy to make the CTP team their own.

What's on offer?

• Attractive and competitive remuneration package.
• Genuine Partner-level leadership opportunity.
• Existing CTP team and growing caseload.
• Strong internal referral opportunities.
• Excellent platform for business development.
• Opportunity to shape and grow the department.
• Choice of three West Midlands offices.
• Hybrid working available for the right candidate.
• Supportive, collegiate and ambitious environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for an established Contentious Probate Partner who wants to take ownership of a growing practice and build a team around them.
