Private Client Fee Earner / Solicitor

An established and well-respected law firm in Widnes is looking to add to its Private Client team due to continued growth.

This is a great opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys private client work and is looking for long-term career progression, including the potential for partnership in the future.

The firm is open on the level of candidate and would be happy to consider either a very experienced Private Client Paralegal or a qualified Solicitor.

Salary will be reflective of experience.

The role:
You’ll be handling a varied private client caseload, likely to include wills, probate, estate administration, LPAs and trusts, working closely with a loyal and often long-standing client base.

Many of the clients are elderly, so this is very much a people-focused role where face-to-face contact is important.

Working pattern:
This is ideally a full office-based role due to the nature of the client base.

However, for the right candidate, the firm would be open to discussing up to 1 day per week working from home if it’s genuinely needed.

What’s on offer:

- 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
- NEST pension
- Free parking on site (large car park)
- “Dress for your day” approach
- Supportive, down-to-earth working environment

Career progression:
This role offers genuine long-term prospects.

There is a clear pathway for progression within the firm, with a potential partnership opportunity in the near future depending on the level of candidate.

Who they’re looking for:

- Experienced in private client work (paralegal or solicitor level)
- A personable approach and confidence dealing with clients face-to-face
- Someone looking to settle into a firm and grow with it long term
