Job description

If I told you that you could join a supportive firm, become part of a highly respected Private Client team and learn from an experienced manager who's a brilliant mentor and genuinely lovely to work with, would you believe me?

This is an excellent opportunity for a newly qualified solicitor, or someone due to qualify soon, to build a strong Private Client career. You'll be trusted with your own cases from the get-go and will meet clients face to face, gaining hands‑on experience from day one. With the support of the team, you'll develop your skills and take on more complex matters over time.

You'll need experience in Private Client work from your traineeship, ideally through a specialist seat or at least six months in the area. Just as important is your enthusiasm for this area of law, your ability to empathise with clients and your commitment to providing excellent service.

There's genuine scope to progress over the medium to long term. The team is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and work‑life balance is respected in practice, with no expectation to work late or put in long hours.

The role is office-based, but there's flexibility when life crops up. Whether you need to step out for a personal matter or be home for a delivery, you're trusted to manage your time and treated like an adult.
