  • Work closely with the firm's litigation partner and other departments on cross-departmental cases.
  • Contribute to strategic planning for department growth and development.

Requirements:

  • Qualified Solicitor with at least 8 years' PQE in Private Client work.
  • Strong technical expertise in wills, probate, trusts, legacy, and estate planning.
  • Leadership experience in managing teams and handling senior-level responsibilities.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain client relationships, with a focus on business development.
  • Ability to work strategically and autonomously in growing and developing a department.

What's on Offer:

  • Competitive salary of up to £85,000, depending on experience.
  • Leadership role with significant autonomy and influence in the department's direction.
  • Excellent existing client base and strong market presence.
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment with a professional team.
  • Opportunity for long-term growth within the firm and a path towards equity partnership.
