Qualified Private Client Solicitor

Job description

I’m working with a growing law firm in Oxted that’s looking to bring in a Private Client Solicitor at NQ+ level. This is a brand-new role, created purely because the firm is busy and continuing to grow, not a replacement.

What’s really nice about this opportunity is the firm’s attitude to progression. They’re genuinely keen for people to work their way up and stay long term, and they can actually back that up with examples of solicitors who’ve done exactly that. If you’re someone who wants to develop, be supported, and eventually move into a more senior role, this firm really ticks that box.

The role itself

You’ll be joining a friendly and established Private Client team, working on a broad mix of:

• Wills and estate planning
• Probate and estate administration
• LPAs
• Trust work and general private client matters

There’s proper secretarial support in place, so you’re not expected to do everything yourself, the focus is very much on doing good quality legal work and building relationships with clients.

Who this would suit

• A qualified Private Client Solicitor
• Someone with a solid base in private client work
• Ambitious, but not cut‑throat, this is a collaborative firm
• Looking for a long‑term move rather than a stepping stone

Why people like this firm

• They’re growing and investing in the team
• Progression is encouraged and achievable
• People are supported, not micromanaged
• Clear evidence of internal promotions
• Secretarial support included
• Friendly, down‑to‑earth culture

This is a great option for a Private Client solicitor who wants to settle somewhere, develop properly, and move up over time.
