solicitor / private client solicitor - hybrid

1 day ago

Devizes, Wiltshire, United Kingdom Spot. Full time

We're looking to appoint a Solicitor / Probate Solicitor / Private Client Solicitor to join the Agriculture & Landed Estates team at Wansbroughs, a well-respected, high-performing Wiltshire-based law firm with a strong reputation for private client and agricultural estate work.

With around 90 staff and 21 Partners, Wansbroughs is a firm big enough to offer real expertise, yet small enough to remain personal. The culture is ambitious yet down-to-earth, a genuinely friendly and inclusive environment where you're encouraged to bring your full self to work. If you're looking to escape the city pace but not the quality or complexity of work, this could be the perfect move.

As one of the South West's leading law firms, Wansbroughs offers the best of both worlds: high-value, interesting cases, a collegiate team, and a healthy work-life balance. This is an opportunity to work on complex, high-quality matters, acting for private clients, trustees and beneficiaries within the agriculture and landed estates sector.

You'll focus on the more intricate side of private client and estate administration, handling cases with the potential for contentious issues, such as challenges to wills, disputes between beneficiaries, and claims under the Inheritance Act. You'll work closely with senior colleagues to resolve disputes through mediation and negotiation wherever possible, applying your technical expertise and sensitivity to deliver pragmatic solutions.

Working alongside a highly regarded team, you'll have access to excellent mentoring, genuine autonomy, and the opportunity to grow your reputation in a thriving area of practice.

Key Requirements: You should be an ambitious, thoughtful and motivated Solicitor / Probate Solicitor / Private Client Solicitor or similar with a CV that demonstrates:

  • 3+ years PQE, ideally within private client, contentious probate, or estate administration
  • Experience of mediation, negotiation, and alternative dispute resolution
  • A strong grasp of estate planning, wills, LPAs, trusts, tax, or inheritance matters
  • Confident handling sensitive issues with empathy, diplomacy, and discretion
  • Organised, detail-focused and capable of managing your own caseload effectively
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a commercial and client-focused mindset
  • Full practising certificate and solid academic background (2:1 degree or equivalent)

In return, you can expect a competitive salary (£58-66k DOE), 5-8% pension, discretionary bonus scheme, hybrid working (2 days at home), plus the option to work full-time or part-time depending on your preference. The firm also have a structured career development framework, the ability to buy or sell holiday, and a healthcare contribution (Associate level and above).


Excellent Remuneration:

  • £58k - £66k salary depending on PQE
  • 5% pension (13 years PQE) or 8% pension (4+ years PQE)
  • £1,000 annual healthcare contribution at Associate leve
  • 25 Days Holiday
