Job description

Our client is one of the largest practices in the area, located in a buzzing and affluent London/Essex borough.

With a management team described as “switched on”, it’s a practice that punches above its weight and is not your typical high street firm with a large number of corporate clients. The business is a general practice providing advice to a broad cross section of the local community. Its influence has spread in recent years to a client base that is now nationwide and, in some instances, international. Friendly and personable, with a strong belief in building lasting relationships with clients.

They now wish to recruit a solicitor with at least 5 years PQE to join the Private Client Team. The successful candidate will take over a full and existing caseload that traditionally has delivered a high fee income per annum, dealing primarily with Probate, Trusts, and Wills. You will manage a varied caseload, advising individuals on all aspects of Private Client work.

A lawyer with ambition and gravitas is preferred, together with the ability to build productive relationships with professional referrers and develop a flow of referrals. You will need to be a good communicator, able to manage, encourage, and develop other members of the team, and work closely with Partners and fee earners from other disciplines.
