Looking for a private client role where you’re not boxed in? This full-time Associate-level opportunity in Coventry offers the chance to take on a broad caseload of private client matters and help shape the future of a well-established, Legal 500-recognised team.

With one lawyer recently leaving the team, there’s a clear need for an experienced, all-rounder to help rebalance the caseload and bring fresh energy to the department. You’ll work closely with a team of supportive and skilled lawyers, paralegals and secretaries – and there’s no pigeonholing here. The work is varied, interesting, and spans wills, probate, trusts, and more.

This firm is known locally for being family-friendly, flexible and collaborative. With leadership that truly values balance and wellbeing, you’ll be trusted to do your job well and given the autonomy to structure your day around your life.

Who we’re looking for

• 5+ PQE Solicitor with solid private client experience
• Strong all-rounder across wills, LPAs, estate admin, trusts, tax planning etc.
• Able to work full time (due to wider team working part-time hours)
• Positive, proactive and collaborative – someone who enjoys being part of a close-knit team
• Open to those with an Associate title or equivalent experience

Salary & Benefits

• Salary up to £55,000 depending on experience
• Regular, accessible bonus scheme
• Birthday off
• Gym membership
• Flexible working hours – you choose your start and finish times, as long as you hit 36.25 hours a week
• Very supportive environment with autonomy and trust
• Clear progression pathways with structured development goals
• Legal 500-ranked firm with a strong and growing client base
