Job description

Private Client Solicitor | Southport

Are you an experienced private client solicitor who is looking for a firm where you can enjoy high quality work without a cut-throat city centre environment?

The Firm

This well-known North-West practice has built an excellent reputation for private client work. They’re known for doing things properly, looking after their clients and their people. Here, you’ll find a supportive, collaborative environment with none of the corporate red tape. Partners and senior lawyers are approachable, hands‑on, and genuinely invested in helping you develop your skills and career. Progression isn’t just a buzzword here, either. Whether you want to work toward Senior Associate or Partner level, or simply build depth in your technical expertise, you’ll be backed every step of the way. The firm invests in its people not only professionally, but personally too.

The Role

The firm is now seeking a Private Client Solicitor with 2+ PQE to join their team. You’ll join a strong and well‑established Private Client team with plenty of high‑quality work coming in.

• Work: A varied caseload across wills, trusts, probate, estate planning and LPA work
• Clients: High‑net‑worth and local affluent individuals, a great mix of quality and community
• Team: Work alongside respected partners and experienced associates who love what they do and are happy to share their knowledge
• Growth: This is an expansion hire, which is a sign of the team's success and the firm's strong trajectory

Why This Role Stands Out

• Genuine Work‑Life Balance: A friendly, flexible and human team which understands that life outside of work matters
• Career Development: Clear progression pathways and full support for professional development (including funding for additional qualifications)
• Down‑to‑Earth Culture: No egos, no politics, just good people doing great work
• Quality of Work: You'll handle interesting, often complex private client work for loyal, long‑term clients in the local community
• Lovely Offices: Modern, welcoming offices based in Southport, a short commute from Liverpool or surrounding areas

What The Team Is Looking For

• A private client solicitor with 2+ PQE
• Experience in a wide range of private client matters

What's On Offer?

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Strong focus on personal and professional development
• Supportive leadership and great colleagues
• Excellent career progression prospects
