Job description

An exceptional Legal 500/UK Top 100 firm in Leeds are looking for a technically excellent private client solicitor (2 or 3 + PQE) or associate (4+) to join them due to organic growth.

The work here is superb, and whilst not every caseload/client is high net worth, a significant amount of it is. For that reason, you need to be comfortable handling complex wills, trusts, estate planning, inheritance tax mitigation, admin of estates and powers of attorney.

They are a full-service law firm so there's plenty of collaboration with other practice areas and to encourage collaboration within the team, there are no individual targets just a team target.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone to come in and develop with some of the best lawyers in the region which could really put your career in private client on a new trajectory and they will support your STEP qualification if that's something that you'd like to do.

On top of a comprehensive benefits package and hybrid working (3 days in the office), you'd benefit from the resources that come with being in a large firm but that has the feel of a smaller firm.
