Taunton, United Kingdom Porter Dodson Full time

About Porter Dodson

We are an award-winning Top 200 UK Law Firm, providing commercial and private legal services to individuals and businesses across the region.

We pride ourselves on our regional presence, giving clients the local connections and friendly in-person service they love. Our team is embedded in our local communities and market sectors, providing a superb service grounded in the real world.

Our people are the lifeblood of the firm, and we are fully committed to ensuring they are motivated, well cared for, and fulfilling their potential at work. Our team retention rates are excellent, and 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. You will play a key role in the team, supporting clients and executing our growth strategy. You will have an existing caseload to work on, as well as support for business development and networking.

We are looking for a team player who values every member of the team and wider firm, and their contribution to our success. 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

This role would best suit someone who is ambitious, proactive, 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.

We 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.

The Benefits

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

  • Flexible Working
  • 25 days holiday, plus Bank Holidays
  • Extra Day of Holiday for your Birthday
  • Private Healthcare
