Job Description:

Rare Opportunity for a Senior Private Client Solicitor in London's West End!

Are you a seasoned Private Client Solicitor ready to take the next step in your career? This is a standout opportunity to join a highly respected and long-established Private Client practice, with a clear path to leadership.

The current Head of Department, a trusted adviser to generations of high-net-worth clients, is preparing to plan for their succession, creating space for a driven, senior lawyer to step into an established, high-quality practice.

Whether you’re a Senior Associate ready for Partnership, or an existing Partner seeking a platform with greater succession support, this role offers the chance to inherit a prestigious client base and lead a thriving team into its next chapter.

The Role - a legacy worth inheriting:

This Legal 500 ranked firm is widely known for its heritage in media and entertainment law, but equally boasts a first-class private client offering.

Uniquely, the firm is also affiliated with a leading multi-disciplinary professional services company, enabling seamless collaboration on complex cross-border tax and estate matters for their high-net-worth clientele.

You will take on a diverse and loyal caseload including wills, probate, complex estate planning, trusts, and wealth structuring for a sophisticated and often high-profile client base.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Ready-Made Practice: Step into a trusted book of high-quality work (meaning that no client following is required).
• Path to Partnership: A genuine, supported route to equity for the right candidate.
• Succession Opportunity: Be part of a forward-looking succession plan as the current Head of Department transitions.
• Collaborative Culture: A high-performing but down-to-earth team that values excellence without ego.
• Exceptional Platform: Work alongside respected colleagues in property, corporate, tax, family, and dispute resolution to offer a full-service approach to private clients.

Requirements:

• 7+ PQE in Private Client law with strong technical ability across core areas including tax planning, probate, trusts, and estate administration.
• A strong communicator with excellent client relationship skills and a natural ability to win trust.
• A team player who enjoys mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to firm growth.
• Ambitious to take on more leadership, with a view to Partnership—whether you're ready now or looking for your next step.

Location & Culture

• Based in the heart of the West End, the firm offers a prestigious yet welcoming environment.
• Founded by its entrepreneurial Managing Partner, the firm has grown through strong values, high-quality referrals, and exceptional client care.
• The culture is inclusive, agile, and collaborative making it the ideal place for ambitious lawyers seeking meaningful progression.

What’s on Offer

• Competitive and negotiable salary
• Clear path to Equity Partnership
• Supportive leadership and transition plan
• Exceptional client base and platform
