I am recruiting on behalf of a leading regional L500 law firm, with national recognition, for a senior level Contentious Probate Solicitor at Partner level.
The firm's contentious probate practice is a growing and strategic priority. Under strong leadership, the team advises on complex estate, will and trust litigation, Inheritance Act claims, proprietary estoppel and agricultural succession disputes.
The Role
This is a senior-level appointment - either at director or junior partner level, depending on experience - to help shape and grow the firm's inheritance and trust disputes team. The successful candidate will:
- Provide expert technical advice on contentious probate, trust disputes, will challenges, Inheritance Act claims, executor/trustee disputes and related matters
- Independently manage and lead complex cases from inception to resolution
- Mentor and supervise more junior solicitors, paralegals and apprentices, helping to develop the next generation of talent
- Delegate work appropriately, ensuring efficient case flow and high-quality outputs
- Attend and contribute at regular team meetings across the firm's offices
- Take on responsibility for case management, freeing up more senior partners to focus on strategic development
What You'll Get
- A competitive salary
- Real potential for progression into more senior partner or equity roles as the team expands
- Flexibility in location
- Opportunity to help build and shape a high-quality, specialist inheritance disputes offering
- Work alongside seasoned litigators and private wealth experts in a firm that values technical excellence, innovation and client care
About You
- You will have significant experience in contentious probate / inheritance and trust disputes
- You must be comfortable and confident in independently managing complex litigation
- You should have a track record of mentoring or supervising more junior lawyers
- You are ambitious, but realistic, you seek a leadership role rather than a rapid jump to full equity
- You are collegial and personable, able to fit within a collaborative, collegial team structure
Why Join This Team?
- The firm is deeply committed to building a leading inheritance disputes practice
- You will be part of a highly regarded, award-winning firm that combines technical strength with a supportive, down-to-earth culture
- This role offers real ownership, influence and visibility
- You'll benefit from working alongside recognised specialists (including ACTAPS and STEP-affiliated practitioners)
