Job Description:

Our client is an established law firm that provides a supportive and open environment built on trust and mutual respect. Employees thrive in an energetic yet friendly atmosphere where their contributions are valued and rewarded. Learning, development, and strong communication are central to the firm’s culture.

They now have an opportunity for a skilled and experienced Fee Earner / Solicitor with approximately 7 years PQE to join its private client team.

This is a large team of Fee Earners that have the support of dedicated Secretaries and Legal Assistants, and the team works in all areas of Private Client law including trusts, wills & probate, and some court of protection work. Candidates must have proven experience in the above, although the COP work isn’t essential. For someone wanting to work in this area of law there will be the opportunity to do so.

The position offers a competitive package, with potential flexibility based on the candidate’s experience. Additional benefits include a hybrid working policy (typically three office days and two home days), days of holiday plus bank holidays, a birthday day off, extra leave over the Christmas period, private healthcare, and life insurance (2x salary). The firm also fosters a family-oriented, sociable culture and encourages long-term retention.

The firm is growing and developing, offering excellent career progression opportunities for the right candidate. With a small family team of two fee earners and two support staff, there is significant potential for expansion.
