Job description

Private Client - Legal Director or Partner
Top UK Law Firm in Reading (with hybrid working)
£100,000+ up to Equity

***Motus Legal Recruitment are exclusively retained on this assignment***

We are delighted to be instructed on this fantastic role in the Thames Valley market, working with a major UK law firm with a stellar reputation. This opportunity is part of the firm's succession planning where you will inherit a technical, high performing and well balanced team as well as an impressive client base.

Strategic planning and growth means our client (a highly-regarded law firm which successfully combines private client and commercial services) has a new and exciting ready-made role for an ambitious senior private client lawyer.

You will have the opportunity to take over existing work which is HNW and UHNW focused. The caseload is both domestic and internationally focused with opportunities to develop and grow the existing cross border work. As a key role, you will also assist in the strategic growth of our client's offering in this practice area.

This role would suit a Legal Director (similar levels such as Managing Associate will be considered) seeking career progression headroom and more responsibility. Alternatively you may already be a partner at another firm looking for a cultural change and/or a new challenge.

Whichever the case, you will have the opportunity to take a lead role and enjoy working in an empowering, collegiate and supportive culture.
