Job description

Private Client Solicitor | 7-10 years’ PQE | Worthing, West Sussex | 50-60k

Take the next meaningful step in your career and join this long-established Worthing firm as a Senior Private Client Solicitor.

This firm is seeking an experienced Private Client Fee Earner to join their close-knit team and uphold the gold standard of client care that has earned them exceptional local visibility and remarkable staff retention. If you’re a steady, mature pair of hands who values building genuine relationships with clients, this could be the perfect place to continue your career.

Want a role where your voice truly matters?

In this small, collaborative department of highly experienced practitioners, you will play an instrumental role in supporting a thriving and ever-growing workload. With secretarial support and a strong and steady flow of work, your time is freed to focus on what truly matters: guiding clients with professionalism, empathy, and technical skill.

What will this Senior Private Client Solicitor role involve?

You’ll step into a busy, well-respected department handling a broad range of matters:

• Wills and lifetime planning
• Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Estate administration for estates ranging from modest values up to £10m+
• Trusts
• Court of Protection (with the option to externally refer)

With significant generational work and an exceptional flow of new matters, you’ll quickly become a crucial contributor to the team’s workload. This firm’s client base is loyal and local, meaning that business development naturally grows from excellent client care.

To excel in this Senior Private Client Solicitor role, you will ideally bring:

• 7-10 years’ PQE as a Solicitor, Legal Executive, or equivalent
• A mature approach suited to a predominantly older client base
• A willingness to be office-based within a traditional (largely paper-based) firm
• The confidence to handle a varied caseload with autonomy, while collaborating within a supportive team

If you are looking for a stable, supportive team where your experience will make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
