Private Client Solicitor

Private Client Solicitor/Chartered Legal Executive/Head of Department

Location: Kingsbridge - South Hams - Devon

Hybrid/Flexible Working | Full-Time | 2+ PQE

A respected regional law firm in the heart of Devon is expanding its Private Client department and is looking to appoint an experienced Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to head up a sub team from its South Hams office

This could be a long term home for anyone seeking high-quality work, long-term progression and a better work-life balance with supervision responsibilities

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Competitive salary based on experience - up to £65k
• 25 days' annual leave + pension
• Parking permit
• Strong admin support and a genuinely collaborative team
• Varied, high-quality Private Client workload
• Senior appointment as "head of team" & clear progression opportunities within a growing department
• Potential relocation assistance available for those moving to Devon

The Opportunity:

You'll take ownership of a well-established caseload and sub team, delivering clear, practical advice to a loyal and growing client base.

Typical matters will include:

• Will drafting and estate planning
• Probate and estate administration
• Inheritance tax advice and lifetime planning
• Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)
• Court of Protection work
• Trust creation and administration (advantageous but not essential)

Much of the work involves HNW clients across the South Hams, though previous experience with HNW estates isn't a requirement.

This is a role suited to someone who enjoys autonomy, consistent client contact and the support of a highly approachable team.

About You:

• Qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx)
• At least 2 years' PQE in Private Client work
• Strong communication and client-care skills
• Able to manage your own caseload confidently
• STEP qualification (or interest in obtaining it) is a bonus
• Candidates with supervision experience preferred, although not essential
