Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom Thornton Legal Full time

This is an exceptional opportunity to work alongside a team of experts in the field and make a significant impact in a well-established firm.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Private Client work, with experience in Wills, Trusts, Probate, and COP. Specific experience in Administration of Estates, Tax Planning, and Wealth Management would be highly advantageous, as well as a track record of working with high net worth clients.

While STEP membership or working towards such would be beneficial, it is not essential.

In addition to your technical skills, you must be able to engage with entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses, and possess excellent client management and communication abilities.

This role offers an exceptional remuneration package, as well as a great working culture and work-life balance. The firm is committed to providing career progression opportunities for ambitious and enthusiastic individuals.

If you are looking to take the next step in your career and work for a leading law firm, then this is the perfect opportunity for you.
