Apply now Huge opportunity for progression to partnership Exceptional flexibility A supportive culture with strong investment in staff development

An instrumental opportunity has arisen for an ambitious individual in a highly respected firm known for its extensive private client work. Our client is seeking a Senior-level professional to spearhead their client-wealth preservation team whilst offering guidance to their junior colleagues.

This role comes with an attractive salary, and it marks the pathway to progress beyond the level of legal director/principal associate within a few years.

As the Private Client Principal Associate/Legal Director, you’ll be immersed in pre-death work, handling all types of wills, including business/agricultural assets, lifetime trusts, inheritance/capital gains tax, LPAs, and old style EPAs.
You’ll be expected to have a firm grasp of inheritance and capital gains tax, along with notable leadership skills to aid others. You’ll need to demonstrate technical skills to handle complex/HNW work.

Our client is a long-standing and reputable firm, recognised for its commitment to preserving wealth and its forward-thinking approach. Its exceptional flexibility, coupled with a strong emphasis on staff development, makes it one of the most sought-after organisations in the Midlands.

If you’re an ambitious professional who prioritises client wealth preservation and advancing in a dynamic environment, this opportunity is undoubtedly for you.
