The Firm

We stand out for our consistently excellent advice: our knowledge of our chosen sectors and markets, and our investment in our client relationships set us apart. We are a natural choice for FTSE100 and other high profile clients. From the work we do to the culture we foster and the partnerships we form, every part of Addleshaw Goddard is driven by three core values: quality, imagination, and impact. We welcome everyone, support people to achieve their full potential, and always seek smart ways to have a positive impact – for our clients, colleagues and communities around the world.

The TST

Our TST innovate by delivering work in the most efficient way, saving our clients time and money. We are now one of the Firm's biggest divisions, with our team being made up of apprentices, paralegals, managers and solicitors. Our team members focus on tasks that are found in a wide variety of legal assignments, but which do not necessarily need to be done by qualified lawyers, including process elements of transactional, advisory and contentious work. We are supported using technology and play a key role in enabling Addleshaw Goddard to respond to client demand for innovative services.

The Private Capital Team

Our Private Capital team offer bespoke, personal advice to High-Net-Worth individuals, trustees, charities, corporate entities, and family offices. Expertise ranges from personal estate planning through to the management of complex, multimillion-pound estates and trusts. We have experience of complex trust and estate disputes/litigation as well as experience of offshore tax planning structures. The team acts for many charities and advises on fundraising issues, governance and structural matters, trading, taxation, mergers, and trustees' duties and responsibilities, as well assisting with complex commercial transactions.

Aside from a competitive salary and flexible benefits package, you'll get fantastic opportunities to support our clients. With our focus on continuous development and progression, we created a career development framework and training programme specifically for the TST. As part of that framework, you'll have the opportunity to have a career conversation every 4 months to ensure we're supporting you to meet your development goals and to discuss your progression. In addition, you'll have access to our internal training contract application process, SQE sponsorship, legal qualification sponsorship and management or technical development programmes.

The work that comes into the team is varied. The specific Private Capital tasks you will be working on can include the following:

drafting Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorneys and Trust documents assisting with all stages of the estate administration process significant contact with clients, in meetings or via phone/email running matters (with supervision) exposure to increasingly complex workstreams attending client meetings drafting, and producing legal documentation and standard forms providing support to our clients on-site  any additional tasks as required by the business

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required (Bespoke to Role)

Due to the dynamic nature of the work we do and the clients we seek to serve, the role is not an ordinary "9-5" job. For the right person, this role provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to our proven success by utilising a wide set of skills essential to a career in the TST.
