Job description

A well-regarded Hull law firm with an excellent reputation for its people-first culture is looking to welcome an experienced Private Client Legal Assistant into its friendly and close-knit team.

This is a firm where teamwork genuinely matters. The private client department works collaboratively, supports one another day-to-day, and values consistency and reliability just as much as technical ability.

The role would suit someone with existing private client experience who enjoys being a dependable, steady presence within a department. You don't need to be chasing progression into a fee‑earning role – instead the firm is looking for someone happy to remain at Legal Assistant level, while gradually broadening their experience and continuing to develop in role.

The role will include:

• Supporting fee earners on a range of private client matters (wills, probate, estates and trusts)
• Managing correspondence and documentation
• Liaising with clients in a professional and reassuring manner
• General administrative and departmental support

What they are looking for:

• Previous experience within a private client team
• A reliable, organised and team‑focused approach
• Someone comfortable being a key support figure within the department
• A genuine interest in long‑term stability rather than rapid progression

What's on offer:

• A genuinely positive and supportive working culture
• Hybrid working
• A firm that values collaboration and loyalty
• A role where you can grow your experience without pressure to move beyond Legal Assistant level

If you are an experienced Private Client Legal Assistant looking for a stable, team‑driven role within a respected Hull firm, this could be a great fit.
