Job description

Overview

Not every private client role is about handling the biggest caseload possible. Some firms place just as much importance on giving you the time to build relationships, earn trust and provide the kind of service that keeps people coming back generation after generation. This is one of those opportunities.

Responsibilities

From day one, you'll manage your own varied caseload of private client matters including Wills, Powers of Attorney, Executories, Tax and Estate Planning, along with a broad range of general private client work. The work is varied, interesting and, thanks to the firm's excellent reputation, there is a consistent flow of quality instructions. This is very much a relationship‑driven role. You'll enjoy taking the time to get to know the people you advise, understanding what’s important to them and providing practical, empathetic advice that makes a genuine difference.

Qualifications

You’ll ideally have a minimum of one year’s PQE and be confident managing your own private client caseload. Just as importantly, you will be approachable, organised, and someone who genuinely enjoys this area of law.

Whether you’re looking to further develop your technical skills, work alongside experienced colleagues, or simply find a firm where you’ll feel valued, this opportunity offers all of that and more.

Next Steps

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll enjoy high‑quality work, genuine support from your colleagues and the opportunity to build a long‑term career, I’d love to tell you more. Please contact Deborah Collier at QED Legal on the details provided.
