This is more than just a fee-earning role. The firm is looking for someone who enjoys building long-term relationships with clients, introducers and the local community, and who is keen to play an active part in developing and growing the Private Client offering.

Whether you're a Solicitor, Chartered Legal Executive or an experienced Fee Earner, you'll join a collaborative and supportive team where you'll benefit from dedicated Paralegal assistance, allowing you to focus on delivering outstanding advice and building your client base.

* Lasting Powers of Attorney
* Inheritance Tax and estate planning
* General Private Client advisory work

Alongside your fee-earning responsibilities, you'll enjoy building lasting relationships with clients and professional contacts, helping to further strengthen the department's reputation and continued growth.
