We’re now working in a hybrid way, with colleagues dividing their time between home and any of our offices in Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, or Stratford upon Avon.

We’re looking for solicitors/fee earners to join our specialist probate team within Co-op Legal Services at a variety of levels.

At Co-op Legal Services we do things differently - we’re future-focussed, we’re committed to providing an exceptional client experience, and we’re passionate about developing our colleagues.

In this role, you’ll manage a varied caseload of probate cases from start to finish, with a client-focussed approach to targets. You won’t need to bring a following of clients with you as we will source new work for you. You’ll also be supported by our innovative legal technology - we’ve introduced AI enabled processes into our legal technology platform, and plan to have our estate administration processes fully AI enabled through 2025, so there’s never been a more exciting time to join!

What you’ll do

• own caseload of probate cases varying in complexity end to end, using a case management system and artificial intelligence tools
• use our case management system to make sure information is recorded accurately
• engage with clients mainly by telephone and email
• work collaboratively with expert support from the team to continually develop your legal skills, administrative support will also be provided
• use your legal knowledge to mentor more junior members of the team

This role would suit people who have

• qualified as a solicitor or legal executive in private practice (CILEX or STEP qualification), or have the equivalent experience in probate law
• the ability to use your initiative and effectively prioritise and organise your work in a fast-paced and high-volume environment
• a client-focused approach with the ability to build positive relationships in a remote setting
