Elevate Your Legal Career in the Heart of the Cotswolds

Opportunity: Private Client Lawyer

Location: Cirencester (Hybrid Working Offered)

Are you a dedicated Private Client Lawyer seeking a role that combines professional growth with a rich heritage? We are proud to partner with an esteemed law firm, deeply rooted in the Cotswolds for over two centuries, who are inviting a passionate legal professional to join their dynamic team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Prestigious Clientele: Engage with a diverse and affluent client base, including high net worth individuals, farmers, landowners and business owners.
• Collaborative Environment: Become part of a supportive team comprising experienced and junior members, fostering mentorship and shared learning.
• Professional Development: Benefit from a firm that values continuous growth, providing opportunities beyond fee-earning, including training and development initiatives.

Role Overview:

• Experience Level: Seeking individuals with a minimum of 2 years PQE, though applications from more experienced lawyers are warmly welcomed.
• Caseload Diversity: Manage a broad spectrum of private client matters, encompassing Probate, Trusts, Wills, and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
• Business Development: While prior business development experience is advantageous, the firm values proactive individuals eager to engage in networking and client acquisition within the Cotswolds community.

What the Firm Offers:

• Competitive Salary Package: Discretionary bonus on offer.
• Work-Life Balance: Standard working hours from 9:00am to 5:30pm, Monday to Thursday, and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Friday. The firm supports hybrid working arrangements, typically offering 1-2 days from home per week, tailored to experience levels.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Enjoy a generous holiday allowance of 26 days plus bank holidays, pension contributions, private medical insurance, and complimentary legal services for simple wills and conveyancing transactions.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Qualifications: Possession of STEP qualifications is desirable but not essential.
• Personal Attributes: Excellent communication skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a personable nature that thrives in a team-oriented setting.
• Ambition: A genuine enthusiasm for private client work and a desire to progress within a firm that values its people and their professional aspirations.

If you're ready to advance your career with a firm that combines historical significance with forward-thinking practices, we encourage you to apply and become a pivotal part of this esteemed team.
