What We Are Looking For:

• A qualified junior solicitor with strong experience in Court of Protection work, particularly deputyships
• Confidence managing your own caseload with minimal supervision
• A compassionate, client-focused approach with excellent communication skills
• A genuine interest in working with vulnerable clients and making a positive impact
