About Porter Dodson
Porter Dodson is an award-winning Top 200 UK Law Firm, providing commercial and private legal services to individuals and businesses across Somerset, Devon and Dorset.
We're proud of a regional presence that gives clients the local connections and friendly in-person service they love. Being embedded in our local communities and market sectors gives our clients a superb service grounded in the real world.
What makes Porter Dodson a great place to work is our people and our culture. Our team are the lifeblood of the firm, and we are fully committed to ensuring our team are motivated, well cared for, and fulfilling their potential at work. Our people are our priority, which is why we have such excellent staff retention rates and how we have sustained a gold accreditation from Investors in People since 2016.
The Role
We have a unique opportunity to join our specialist Court of Protection and Management of Personal Affairs team within our highly successful Private Client team in our Taunton office. You will play a key role in the team supporting clients whilst also being instrumental in executing our growth strategy and whilst you will have an existing caseload to work on, you will also have the support for business development and networking.
In addition to your private client expertise, we are looking for a team player who values every member of the team and wider firm and their contribution to the success of Porter Dodson. We have a unique offering at PD where we have the benefit of being a larger firm but pride ourselves on having maintained the flexibility, collaborative nature and welcoming environment of a smaller firm.
About You
Joining our reputable private client department, this role would best suit someone who is ambitious, pro-active, and enthusiastic, with excellent interpersonal skills. Ideally you will have some exposure to private client work already and a compassionate and considered approach with the ability to engage with people at all levels. We believe this role would best suit someone at NQ -3 PQE or comparable Legal Advisor experience, but welcome applications from those who feel they meet the criteria.
Porter Dodson can offer a tailored approach to your career path where you can really make it your own. This role is an excellent platform for you to continue to build on your success in an environment where your expertise is valued.

In addition to a competitive salary, you will also get:
