Job description

Private Client Paralegal | Manchester | 1+ Years Private Client Experience

A Manchester practice with a heritage of over 30 years is growing its Private Client team, offering a high quality caseload alongside experienced fee earners and a substantial will bank that provides work from day one.

The Firm

This family friendly firm offers expertise across key practice areas including property, litigation, private client and family law. With a focus on services to individuals, it benefits from a good amount of internal cross referral work, creating a sense of client familiarity across departments that is very hard to find at the larger practices in the Northwest.

The firm has a particularly good reputation for looking after its staff, with the managing partner checking in with all fee earners and paralegals weekly. With welfare at the core of the business, flexibility is strong, with people working part time and from home several days a week. Based in South Manchester, the firm also has access to HNW individual clients, meaning anyone joining sees a high quality level of work.

The Role

You will join the growing Private Client department in South Manchester at an exciting time, as the firm continues to establish itself as a specialist across Private Client, Family and Conveyancing. You will support on a broad spectrum of matters including wills, trusts, probate, estate administration and Court of Protection work, often involving complex and high value estates.

Thanks to the firm's heritage in the area, its established will bank and strong relationships with local IFAs and funeral directors, you will have a good amount of work from your first day. Working closely with experienced fee earners, you will receive the kind of bespoke training and development that is hard to find at larger practices.
