Bristol, United Kingdom Birketts LLP Full time
The firm

Bristol is our seventh office opening in the early Autumn so come and be part of the founding team. Since January 2021 we have had a 'hub’ which has hosted our Southwest based partners but to reflect our growth in this area and the firm strategy we are now here to stay. We are establishing a full-service presence in Bristol, and this is an exciting opportunity to be part of that and help form the office as we grow.

Birketts is a full service, UK Top 50 law firm. With a heritage spanning 160 years, we have more than 700 lawyers and legal professionals with our other offices being located in in Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich, London, Norwich and Sevenoaks. We advise businesses, government and public sector organisations and individuals in the UK and internationally across four principal practice groups: real estate, corporate services, litigation and private client advisory.

We are defined by our Next Level Law proposition. We work with our clients as a proactive partner, horizon scanning and thinking ahead to the changes, challenges or opportunities that they may face. Next Level Law is also applied to our people. Our collegiate culture means everyone is encouraged to achieve their next level in everything they do.

The department

We are recognised as one of the leading regional firms in advising private clients on a broad range of issues relating to estates and private property, tax planning and family matters, and our team has experienced a period of continued growth and investment.

The role will be in the Tax and Trusts Team which complements the wider Private Client Advisory Team. The Tax & Trusts Team has two core service offerings which are:-

- provision of tax advice to private clients and trustees regarding particular events or transactions and dealing with the associated tax reporting;

- administration and taxation of trusts and estates for individuals, families and charities.

The Team is split into two sub-teams namely a team of personal tax advisors and a team of Trusts & Fiduciary Executives focussed upon the administration and taxation of trusts and estates.

Purpose of job

If you are seeking a new, challenging role with a modern, forward-thinking firm with potential to qualify as a solicitor in the near future, then this could be the role for you

You will be given early responsibilities, with the opportunity to manage your own small caseload (and fee-earn alongside the Trusts and Fiduciary Executives), and the chance to get involved in some really exciting and complex trust work

Administrative skills:

Manage diaries of allocated fee earners in Microsoft Outlook to include:

  • Arranging meetings/conferences
  • To process all forms including new client form, new matter form, money laundering form, training course booking forms etc.
  • To ensure that all electronic filing and paper-based filing is up to date and maintained at regular intervals

General Approach:

  • To show a positive approach and interest in the work
  • Show initiative when responding to queries and actively try to seek solutions to problems
  • To support your team members when clients are demanding the work product to be delivered
  • To support and build working relationships with colleagues and to actively work for the interests of the whole team
