Private Client Partner in Cheltenham

I'm partnering with a highly regarded independent law firm in Cheltenham to appoint a Private Client Partner (or an aspirational Senior Associate) who will play an integral role in the continued growth and strategic direction of an already successful practice. The firm has built an enviable reputation for delivering exceptional advice to high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners. Its culture is collegiate, entrepreneurial and refreshingly free from the layers of bureaucracy often associated with larger regional and national firms.

This is an opportunity for a Private Client Partner or aspirational Senior Associate to join a leadership team that genuinely values autonomy, collaboration and long-term relationships. You'll have the platform to develop your practice, influence the direction of the department and help shape the future of the firm.

Some of the key responsibilities of the Private Client Partner include:

• Playing a leading role in the continued development and growth of a highly regarded Private Client practice.
• Advising clients on complex wills, trusts, estate planning, probate, succession and tax matters.
• Strengthening relationships with existing clients and trusted professional referrers.
• Mentoring and developing talented lawyers within the team.
• Playing a key role in business development and the firm's long-term strategic ambitions.

The successful candidate will have:

• Extensive Private Client expertise, ideally gained at Partner or Legal Director level, or a Senior Associate ready for Partnership.
• A strong reputation for building lasting client relationships and delivering outstanding advice.
• Commercial awareness coupled with a genuine enthusiasm for developing a successful practice.
• Leadership qualities, emotional intelligence and a collaborative approach.
• STEP qualification would be preferred.

In return, you'll find:

• A genuine seat at the leadership table.
• High-calibre clients and sophisticated, rewarding work.
• The freedom to build your area without unnecessary corporate constraints.
• Flexible, hybrid working.
• A highly competitive remuneration package with an attractive profit share and benefits.
• A firm whose reputation has been built on quality, integrity and enduring client relationships.

This is a rare opportunity and as such the client is looking for someone who can bring passion, excitement, determination and creativity to the table and in return my client can offer the opportunity to play a key part in the future growth of the business.
