• The Path: Direct mentorship from senior leaders and a clear trajectory as the department expands.

The Role

Our client is looking for an ambitious Solicitor to join their Private Client team during a period of significant growth. This isn't a "cog in the machine" role; the successful candidate will manage a 'substantial diverse caseload' with the autonomy to make it their own, supported by a firm that actively invests in professional development.

Key Responsibilities:

• Diverse Caseload: Manage a mix of probate applications, Court of Protection matters, and family asset protection trusts.

• Drafting: Sharpen skills by drafting complex trust documentation and legal instruments with precision.
• Collaboration: Work closely with financial advisors and accountants to provide holistic solutions for clients.
• Client Care: Deliver empathetic and commercially sound advice tailored to individual needs.

What You'll Bring

Our client isn't necessarily looking for a finished product; they are looking for someone with a solid foundation and the hunger to become a specialist.

• Experience: You are a qualified solicitor (or equivalent) with at least 2 years of experience in private client law.
• Ambition: You are either a STEP member or are keen to work toward the qualification with the firm's full support.
• Tech-Savvy: You're comfortable using modern legal tech and case management systems, such as LEAP.
• Mindset: You possess excellent communication skills and a desire to help grow a department.

Why Join Them?

Our client offers the best of both worlds: the warmth of a supportive SME culture and the professional challenge of high-value work.

• Mentorship: Work within a team that prioritizes internal training and development programs.
• Flexibility: Genuine hybrid and flexible working arrangements that respect your life outside the office.
• Culture: An inclusive workplace where your contribution to the firm's growth is recognized and rewarded.

The "Nothing to Lose" First Step

Our client is starting the process with informal, confidential chats. There is no formal interview pressure at this stage-just a chance to hear about their growth plans and see if they are the right fit for your next career move.
