Job description

I am keen to speak with Contentious Probate Solicitors with a minimum of 3+ years’ PQE who are looking to progress their careers within a nationally recognised team of specialists.

Significant, hands‑on experience in Contentious Probate is essential. This must be more than occasional exposure - the successful candidate will have been fully immersed in contentious probate matters for at least three years and able to step confidently into a busy caseload with minimal supervision.

This highly experienced team is seeking a skilled solicitor to join their established group of experts in this niche and expanding area of law.

Key Benefits

• Work‑life balance: The firm is well known for promoting flexibility and employee wellbeing, offering remote and hybrid working options to those who wish to use them.
• Career progression: Whether you are mid‑level or more senior, the firm provides clear, realistic pathways for advancement, including opportunities to progress toward Partnership.

With a strong flow of high‑quality incoming work and increasing demand for contentious probate specialists, the team is ideally placed to support your development while offering challenging and rewarding work.

Why this role?

The firm focuses exclusively on Contentious Probate, enabling its lawyers to concentrate entirely on their specialism without the distractions of broader private client work. This creates an unparalleled environment for those passionate about contentious wills and estates and keen to advance their career in this area.
