Private Client Associate Solicitor

£48k - £58k per annum
Full-time
  • Join a growing Private Client team with genuine opportunities to progress into Associate and Director-level roles
  • Tailor your caseload around your strengths, from wills and probate through to trusts, tax planning and Court of Protection work
  • Hybrid working (3 days in the office), free parking and a genuinely supportive, non-corporate culture

If you’re looking for a Private Client role where your career doesn’t have to fit into a rigid mould, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.

Whether you’re an experienced solicitor looking to broaden your expertise or someone ready to step into a more senior role with leadership responsibilities, there’s scope to shape the position around your experience and ambitions.

You’ll join a well-established team handling a broad range of quality private client work, including wills, probate, estate administration, trusts, tax planning, LPAs and Court of Protection matters. Rather than expecting everyone to follow the same path, the firm is happy to build the role around your particular strengths and interests, allowing you to develop the areas of private client work you most enjoy.

For more experienced solicitors, this is also an opportunity to play a key role in the continued growth of the department. You’ll support and mentor junior lawyers, help develop the wider team and build towards the firm’s clearly defined progression framework, with a genuine route for progression.

What really stands out is the culture. Management is approachable, the atmosphere is relaxed, and you’re trusted to do your job without constant oversight. It’s a modern, forward-thinking firm where people are valued for the quality of their work rather than simply the numbers they produce.

Who we’re looking for

  • Qualified Solicitor, CILEX Lawyer or experienced Fee Earner with Private Client experience
  • Experience managing a Private Client caseload independently
  • Broad experience across wills, probate, estate administration and LPAs
  • Experience with trusts, tax planning or Court of Protection work (desirable)
  • Strong client care and relationship-building skills
  • Commercial awareness and excellent organisational skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively within a supportive team
  • Experience supervising or mentoring junior colleagues (desirable for more senior applicants)


What you’ll be doing

  • Managing a varied Private Client caseload
  • Advising clients on wills, probate, estate administration and LPAs
  • Handling trust administration, tax planning and Court of Protection matters where appropriate
  • Building long-term relationships with clients and professional contacts
  • Working closely with colleagues across the wider firm
  • Supporting and mentoring junior solicitors and support staff (depending on experience)
  • Contributing to the continued growth and development of the Private Client department


Salary & Benefits

  • Hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 from home)
  • Enhanced annual leave, increasing with length of service
  • Generous pension scheme
  • Life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Ongoing professional development and qualification support
  • Employee recognition scheme
  • Free on-site parking
  • Clear progression framework from Solicitor to Associate and Director
