An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Private Client Lawyer or Solicitor to join a thriving, forward-thinking Private Client team where expertise is valued and people truly matter.

This is a practice renowned for delivering exceptional client service with genuine care and attention. Quality is never compromised, and relationships are built on trust, professionalism and integrity. At the heart of the firm’s success is a welcoming, inclusive culture shaped by three clear principles: being Open, Responsible and Fair. The successful candidate will share these values and enjoy working collaboratively within a busy, supportive and highly respected department.

With a rich history and a progressive outlook, the firm offers more than just a role — it offers a place to grow. Lawyers here are empowered to develop their careers within a culture that invests in training, encourages progression and celebrates achievement. While the position is primarily office-based, flexibility is embedded in the working environment. Hybrid working (typically two days in the office and three from home), flexible start and finish times, and a healthy work-life balance are all part of the package. For this position, they can also consider candidates that are looking for 4 OR 5 days per week.

The benefits are equally impressive. Alongside a competitive salary, the successful candidate will enjoy generous annual leave, a firmwide bonus scheme, an individual performance bonus scheme, and private health insurance after one year of service, plus a range of additional benefits. Active Culture and Charity teams organise social events and initiatives throughout the year, offering opportunities to get involved and feel part of something bigger.

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of two years’ PQE and demonstrate strong drafting, analytical and communication skills, alongside a commitment to delivering outstanding client service. Confidence in managing a varied caseload independently is essential, supported by a dedicated administrative team across two offices. Flexibility to attend a second office approximately 10 miles away on occasion is required, so a driving licence and access to a vehicle are necessary.
Qualification as a Trust & Estate Practitioner (STEP), or a willingness to undertake the qualification, is highly desirable. The firm has a strong track record of supporting professional development and investing in its people’s success.

For a Private Client lawyer seeking a role where values matter, careers are nurtured, and excellence is the standard, this is an opportunity not to be missed
