The Role
The role places the successful candidate at the core of the Tax & Trusts team, providing support through:

  • Knowledge & Precedents Management - Maintaining and developing a comprehensive suite of precedents, checklists, and guidance notes to ensure the team stays up to date with legal developments.
  • Legal Research & Updates - Monitoring changes in tax, trusts, and estate planning laws and delivering concise, practical updates to the team.
  • Training & Development - Designing and delivering internal training sessions and supporting learning programmes for team members at all levels.
  • Technical & Practical Support - Acting as a point of reference for complex legal queries and providing insight into intricate tax and trust matters.
  • Business Development & Thought Leadership - Contributing to the firm's marketing efforts through articles, client briefings, and industry insights.
  • Innovation & Legal Technology - Supporting the implementation of legal technology solutions to improve efficiency and knowledge-sharing.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration - Working with other Knowledge Lawyers across the firm to enhance best practices.

Candidate Profile

  • Qualified Solicitor with 5+ years PQE in tax and trusts law, ideally from a leading private client team.
  • Strong technical expertise in UK and (preferably) international tax, trusts, and estate planning.
  • Experience in lasting powers of attorney, estate administration, and complex wealth structuring.
  • A proactive and highly organised approach, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Exceptional legal research and writing skills, with a keen ability to translate technical law into clear, practical guidance.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with experience in designing and delivering training (desirable).
  • Membership of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) (desirable).
  • Familiarity with legal technology and knowledge management systems (desirable).

The Opportunity

  • A non-fee-earning role offering intellectual challenge and the chance to shape knowledge strategy within a well-regarded private client team.
  • Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid options (minimum three days per week for part-time roles).

This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced tax and trusts lawyer to take on a strategic role, enhancing knowledge and best practices within a highly respected team.
