Job Description

A growing regional law firm in the Fylde area are looking to recruit a motivated and client-focused Solicitor to join its non-contentious team.

This opportunity would suit a solicitor who enjoys building strong client relationships, working with a good level of autonomy, and developing their career within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The successful candidate will manage a varied caseload of private client and property-related non-contentious matters, while contributing to the continued growth of the firm. The role also offers a clear and genuine pathway to partnership for the right individual.

The Role

You will handle a varied caseload of non-contentious work from instruction through to completion, including:

  • Wills and estate planning
  • Probate and estate administration
  • Powers of attorney
  • Court of Protection work where required
  • Residential and commercial conveyancing transactions

Alongside managing your caseload, you will maintain strong client relationships, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and work collaboratively with colleagues to maintain high standards of client service. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to the continued development and growth of the firm.

Professional Development

The firm is committed to supporting long-term career development and offers:

  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Close collaboration with experienced partners
  • Mentoring and support to develop technical expertise and client management skills
  • The opportunity to take on increasing responsibility over time

The firm is keen to hear from qualified solicitors in England and Wales with experience handling non-contentious matters. You should be confident managing your own workload, with the ability to organise and prioritise tasks effectively.

Strong communication and client care skills are important for this role, as you will be dealing with clients directly and guiding them through often significant legal matters. The successful candidate will be professional, approachable and have a strong eye for detail.

Experience gained within a high street or regional firm would be beneficial, although not essential. An interest in building long-term client relationships and developing your career within a firm that supports progression would also be advantageous.
