Motivated and eager to take the next step in your career, you will:

• Be a qualified or newly qualified solicitor (or possess equivalent qualifications and practical experience)
• Have proven experience within Private Client, with a good understanding of estate administration, Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Trusts
• Be comfortable working with electronic case management systems
• Thrive in a supportive, team-oriented environment where learning and development are encouraged
• Enjoy building relationships with high net worth clients and demonstrate strong communication skills in a client-facing role
