Job description

Are you an experienced private client solicitor looking for a flexible working environment where you can build something of your own?

This is a standout opportunity to join a well-regarded high-street firm in Greater Manchester with a strong local reputation, a family-first culture and an immediate source of good-quality work.

You’ll have the freedom to shape the private client department how you see fit: whether that’s running your own caseload quietly and independently, or building and leading a team in the future.

If you’re looking for a role that gives you both freedom and support, where you can truly enjoy work again, this could be your perfect next step.

Who we’re looking for

• A Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive with 4+ years’ experience
• Confident managing a mixed wills, probate, LPAs and estate admin caseload independently
• Commercially aware and relationship-driven, good at engaging with existing clients and generating cross-referral work
• Interested in either working autonomously or developing a small team
• Friendly, collaborative and grounded as this is a warm, non-corporate team

Salary & Benefits

• £45,000 - £55,000(depending on experience)
• Bonus scheme: 15% on billings above 3x salary
• Hybrid working: Up to 4 days from home
• Flexible hours and part-time options available (3+ days per week)
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas closure
• Medical cash plan
• Standard pension
• Family-friendly team
• Supportive, flexible culture
