Reading, United Kingdom Henderson Scott Limited Full time

Legal 500 Firm
Contentious Probate
Solicitor 2-4PQE
Reading

My client is a leading Thames Valley law firm located in the centre of Reading, providing services for a wide range of clients, from multi-national companies to small family businesses.

The firm's Will Disputes & Contentious Probate team deals with a wide range of contentious probate matters and work closely with our Wills, Trusts and Estates team.

The day to day caseload involves the full range of contentious probate matters including Inheritance Act claims for Claimants and Defendants, claims involving challenges to the validity of Wills, executor/administrator disputes (including removal of executor applications), estate administration disputes, Court of Protection disputes as well as the various types of trust disputes. You will be expected to run your own cases, as well as work with colleagues on large cases all whilst benefitting from supervision and support from the Head of the Will Disputes & Contentious Probate team who is rated as one of a small number of Leading Individuals by Legal 500 for contentious probate in the South East. You'll also work together with other colleagues within the contentious and non-contentious teams.

The ideal candidate for this role will have 2-4 years of civil litigation experience including contentious probate work and ideally have had some experience of contentious probate and non-contentious private client work during their training contract or early career, however, applications from any junior solicitor with litigation and contentious probate experience who is keen to work in a successful growing team in this specialist area are welcome.

Please apply as directed or confidentially contact Aidan McAvinue at Search Legal for more information. Alternatively, if this role is not for you, I am working on a variety of other Private Client law opportunities with ranked teams in Reading so would be interested to talk to any Private Client lawyer.
