Job description

Top 100 Law firm located in Guildford seeks a Senior Associate to join the Private Wealth Team. The team works predominantly with individuals falling into the "high-net-worth" category (typically referring to those with personal assets totaling £5m-£20m) across the full spectrum of private client matters. This will include taking instructions on the preparation of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, lifetime and succession planning, IHT and CGT planning, estate administration, as well as the creation, administration, and winding-up of trusts.

Core Duties and Experience

• A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with prior experience in the area of Private Wealth (also known as Private Client).
• Ideally seeking someone with at least 7 years' worth of experience managing their own caseload of private client matters. However, we will also consider candidates who are keen to take the next step into a Senior Associate role and who are eager to develop further as part of our specialist team.
• Experience in, or an interest to be involved in, marketing and business development activities.
• An ability to communicate confidently and clearly with a wide variety of clients, many of whom are going through a difficult period following the death of a loved one.
• Although this position is offered full-time, we offer a split of working from home and in the office. We are a flexible team and open to considering alternative working patterns.
