I'm working with an award-winning, forward-thinking law firm that is transforming the way legal services are delivered. With a reputation for being approachable, accessible, and unpretentious, this firm specialises in personal legal matters such as conveyancing, family law, and Wills. Their unique, client-centered approach has revolutionised fee structures, client engagement, and internal operations.

My client is seeking a talented Private Client Lawyerwith at least 3 years of practical experience who is ready to step into a standalone role and take charge of a varied caseload, including Wills, LPAs, Probate, and estate planning. A key element of this position is the potential to spearhead the Private Client department, driving it forward with the support of business development and marketing resources to fuel its growth. This is an exciting opportunity for someone commercially-minded, confident working independently 90% of the time, but with external consultant support when needed.

This firm stands apart from the traditional hierarchical law firms. It has an empowering, democratic structure that fosters innovation and values every team member's contributions. You'll be part of a culture where you are encouraged to leave your mark, with a clear path to stepping into a leadership role as Head of Department, including mentoring junior staff and shaping the direction of the Private Client practice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage a varied caseload of Wills, LPAs, Probate, and estate planning, including HNW clients.
  • Provide high-level client service while working independently, with external consultant support available.
  • Lead and drive the growth of the Private Client department, using your commercial acumen to develop new business opportunities.
  • Collaborate with the firm's marketing and business development teams to expand the department's reach.

Why This Role MattersThis role is pivotal to the future of the firm's Private Client practice. You will not only manage a caseload but will also have the opportunity to take ownership of the department's development. With the right commercial mindset, you will help grow the department, build a client base, and establish yourself as a leader within the firm.

Flexible Working OptionsThe firm offers flexible and hybrid working arrangements to support a healthy work-life balance.

LocationThe firm serves clients across Sussex, Surrey, and the South East, with offices located near Brighton, Hove, and Gatwick.

Salary and Benefits

  • Competitive salary:
  • Profit-sharing scheme for exceeding billing targets.
  • Full business development and marketing support to drive the department's growth.
  • Opportunities for professional development and fast-tracked career progression.
