  • Strong understanding of legal risk management, compliance, and regulatory requirements in the private client sector.

Desirable:

  • Membership of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) and the Association of Lifetime Lawyers is highly desirable.

  • High level of integrity, professionalism, and discretion in handling sensitive client matters.
  • Approachable and available.

Why Join the Firm:

  • Opportunity to lead and shape the private client division in a well-respected, growing law firm.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package, with performance-based incentives.
  • Be part of a collaborative, supportive working environment that values professional development and career progression.
  • An exciting opportunity to step into a key leadership role at a time of transition for the private client team.

If you are an experienced private client professional with leadership expertise and are looking for a unique opportunity to guide a team across multiple offices, our client invites you to apply for this important role following the retirement of the current incumbent.

Our client is an equal opportunity employer. The firm celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
