Private Client Legal Director

£84k - £90k per annum
Full-time
  • Work within a tier 1 Legal 500 Private Client team
  • Competitive salary with clear route to Partnership
  • UHNW/HNW tax & trusts work in a highly specialised, employee-owned firm

This is a rare opportunity to join a Tier 1 Legal 500 Private Client team in Warwickshire as an Associate Partner or Legal Director.

Whether you bring deep technical excellence, mentoring capability, client following or leadership ambition, the firm is open to shaping the position around the right person.

Who we’re looking for

  • Technically strong Private Client Solicitor
  • Significant experience in Tax & Trusts work
  • Broad general Private Client experience
  • Demonstrable experience handling complex, high-value matters
  • Background from a Legal 500 or strong regional firm
  • Confident working with HNW and UHNW individuals
  • Ambitious and motivated to build their profile within a leading team
  • STEP qualification (Desired)

What you’ll be doing

  • Handling predominantly Tax & Trusts matters for HNW/UHNW clients
  • Managing and developing an established caseload
  • Delivering technically excellent advice in complex estate planning structures
  • Building and maintaining long-term client relationships
  • Mentoring and supporting junior lawyers (depending on experience)
  • Contributing to the wider growth and strategic direction of the team

Targets are team-based, with a strong emphasis on quality over volume. The focus is on delivering outstanding work and maintaining strong client relationships, not churning files.

Salary & Benefits

  • Clear, uncapped progression pathways
  • Promotions annually
  • Employee-owned firm – long-term stability and independence
  • Collaborative culture with excellent retention at senior levels
  • 2–3 days in the office
  • Specialist, highly respected Private Client team
  • Opportunity to contribute to firm strategy and growth
  • No rigid hierarchy despite operating at a very high technical level
  • Friendly, collective environment where everyone pulls in the same direction

This is as specialist as it gets in Private Client. Despite being one of the largest teams in its field, it retains the feel of a close-knit, family-friendly environment. Lawyers are encouraged at every level to shape the future of the firm.

If you’re technically excellent, hungry for the next step and want a genuine pathway to Partnership without corporate politics, this is a compelling opportunity.
