Job description

Ickenham, United Kingdom | Posted on 20/01/2025

B P Collins’ reputation stands as a benchmark in the legal community. Recognised in legal directories as a regional powerhouse, we have earned tier-one rankings across numerous services, with our lawyers celebrated as either leaders or next-generation experts in their fields.

Our private client practice has become synonymous with excellence, delivering a comprehensive suite of services including wills and probate, estate planning, trust management, inheritance disputes, power of attorney arrangements, elder law, tax planning, contentious probate, charitable giving advice, and personal affairs management. Our dedication to excellence has been recognised once again, with our team retaining the prestigious ranking of Leading Individual in the 2024 Legal 500 guide.

With the acquisition of Cathcarts earlier this year, we now have an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious individual to make a mark in our private client legal services. In this key role, you’ll have the opportunity to work with high-quality, high-net-worth clients in the Ickenham community, playing a vital role in expanding our offering. You’ll be part of a highly cohesive and supportive team that shares a passion for service on behalf of our clients.

As an integral member of our team, the role entails taking on a diverse caseload with a high level of autonomy, while seeking guidance when necessary. You will have the opportunity to meet clients face-to-face or virtually to understand their needs and objectives, providing them with specialised advice tailored to their situation. Compliance with Lexcel standards and the SRA code of conduct is paramount, ensuring meticulous case and file management, along with diligent risk assessments. Your role will also involve maintaining commercial awareness, recording time accurately, and ensuring prompt billing. Additionally, you'll prepare legal documentation such as Wills, Trusts, LPAs, and manage Probate cases efficiently. Maximising marketing opportunities through presentations, seminars, and cross-selling will be integral to generating new business. Staying abreast of legal developments through continuous professional development is essential, as is contributing to the overall success and cohesion of the team by sharing ideas and supporting colleagues.
