The Opportunity


We have an opportunity for an Assistant to work within the Trusts and Estates team in our Bath office, however remote working will also be available.

This role involves working with the Court of Protection Solicitor supporting individuals who are unable to make decisions about their personal health, finance or welfare.

As an Assistant, you will be an integral part of the support provided to our clients and their families to achieve their objectives and balancing that up with the available funds.

Clients often need help with care packages, property purchase and adaptations, budgets, benefits and a host of other issues which may arise.

This opportunity involves a lot of client contact, particularly with elderly clients and their families with the administration of their financial and general affairs including those for whom partners in the team are appointed as professional attorney or deputy.
