Senior Private Client Solicitor / Legal Executive (10+ PQE) - Mansfield Competitive Salary There are some roles that feel like a step forward, and others that offer the chance to become part of something steadily building. This opportunity falls firmly into the latter. An established and highly regarded Private Client team in Mansfield is continuing to grow, driven by a combination of long-standing client relationships and a strong influx of new instructions. The work is varied, high quality and, above all, built on trust supporting individuals, families and professional referrers such as accountants and financial advisers through often complex and sensitive matters. As a senior member of the team, you would play a central role in shaping that ongoing success. Your day-to-day work would involve advising across the full spectrum of private client matters, including wills, probate and estate administration, inheritance tax planning and Lasting Powers of Attorney. What sets this opportunity apart is the balance between autonomy and support. You will be trusted to manage your own caseload and client relationships, while working within a close-knit structure designed to help you operate effectively. Each senior fee earner works alongside dedicated support, meaning administrative burden is reduced and your focus remains where it should be on delivering high-quality legal advice and building strong, lasting client relationships. The wider firm offers the stability and breadth of a full-service practice, with ongoing investment in systems and technology to ensure the way you work continues to evolve. Equally important is the culture one that prioritises collaboration, knowledge sharing and the long-term development of its people. Senior lawyers are encouraged not only to lead by example but to mentor and guide others, helping to maintain a supportive and approachable team environment. This role will suit an experienced Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive with over 8 years' PQE, who is confident managing complex matters and comfortable working in a commercially aware environment. You will likely already have a track record of building relationships, generating work and maintaining a consistent level of billing, alongside an organised and methodical approach to running files. In return, you will be joining a well-established yet forward-thinking team at a key stage of its growth, where your contribution will be visible and valued. It is an opportunity to continue developing your career in a setting that combines quality work, strong client relationships and genuine long-term progression. If you are considering a move and want to be part of a team where you can add real value while continuing to grow, then please don't hesitate to apply.
