- Contributing to business development and the continued growth of the department

Requirements

- Minimum 5 years’ PQE within Private Client / Trusts & Estates
- Strong technical knowledge, particularly in high-value and complex matters
- Experience with HNW or UHNW clients, family estates or agricultural clients is highly advantageous
- Ability to communicate with clarity, empathy and professionalism
- A collaborative approach and willingness to build long-term client relationships

This role would suit a Private Client Solicitor who enjoys high-quality, relationship-led work and values a culture where professionalism and approachability go hand in hand.
On offer is a competitive salary, hybrid working and excellent career progression opportunities.
