Job description

Private Client Associate/Senior Associate Solicitor (4-7 PQE) | Cambridge Office

Ready to take the next big step in your career? This is your chance to join one of the UK's most respected and forward-thinking law firms, with over a century of heritage and an eye firmly on the future.

A leading, full-service, regional firm that blends the best of traditional values with a modern, dynamic culture. They pride themselves on delivering exceptional service, building meaningful relationships, and helping clients and their people secure a better future.

The Opportunity
As an Associate Solicitor in this thriving Private Client team based in Cambridge, you'll handle high-quality, often complex work across estate administration, wills, trusts, and succession planning. You'll be supported by an experienced and collaborative team, yet given the autonomy to develop and shine.

You'll be:

• Working alongside some of the best lawyers in the region on complex matters, while taking the lead on your own cases
• Providing clear, empathetic, and strategic advice to a diverse client base
• Managing files, preparing reports, and handling transactions with confidence
• Developing professionally within a firm that truly invests in your growth

Who We're Looking For
This role would suit a technically strong and client-focused solicitor who's ready to progress in their career. Ideally, you'll bring:

• At least 4 years PQE, and experience dealing with the full spectrum of private client law
• A proactive, professional and commercially aware approach
• A genuine desire to deliver outstanding service and build long-term client relationships

Why This Role Stands Out
This firm offers more than just a strong name on your CV. You'll benefit from:

• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements, providing a healthy work-life balance
• Market-leading salary and benefits package
• Lucrative bonus incentives
• Realistic and achievable career progression pathways to senior roles
• An inclusive, collaborative culture, and a team committed to your success

If you're an ambitious Private Client lawyer looking to elevate your career with a firm that values excellence, integrity, and people, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
