Job Description:

Let's be honest about remote work in legal.

Most firms talk a good game about "flexibility" but what they really mean is "we expect to see your face in the office three days a week."

This private client position is different. And I mean actually different, not recruitment-speak different.

Two lawyers I placed there haven't seen their office in months. They're not hiding - the firm knows exactly where they are.

When most legal recruiters say "remote," they mean "occasional WFH privileges granted by a slightly progressive partner who still thinks email is cutting edge."

This is genuine work-from-anywhere. Devon beach hut? Fine. Scottish Highlands? No problem. Your mum's spare room in Newcastle? Whatever works.

Here's why this isn't the usual recruitment jargon:

• The team keeps growing because clients actually like what they do. Novel concept.
• You need WiFi. That's it. No "we need you in for client meetings" small print.
• Remote workers get the same promotions as office dwellers. I've seen it happen.
• They're hiring because they're busy, not because someone fled after 6 months.

This Top 200 firm somehow managed what others claim is impossible - discovering that lawyers can draft documents effectively without being physically supervised. Revolutionary.

Unlike most remote setups where you're essentially a legal freelancer with benefits, you'll be properly integrated. The team actually communicates with each other and you will feel included.

Shocking, I know.

If you're a 3+ PQE Private Client Solicitor/Associate or Senior Associate doing private client work and sick of commuting or office politics, this is worth your time.

£50,000-£75,000 DOE for genuinely working wherever you want? That's about as rare as a hiring manager who doesn't say "we want the best talent" while offering average salary.

Message me if you want the details without the usual recruitment nonsense.
