At Senior Associate or Partner level, you will also:

• Mentor and supervise junior lawyers
• Strengthen and deepen key client relationships
• Contribute to business development initiatives
• Help drive the strategic growth of the Manchester private client tea

Who would suit this role

• 5+ years’ PQE in private client law
• Strong technical grounding in wills, trusts, IHT and CGT
• Confident advising HNW and UHNW clients
• STEP qualified (or working towards qualification) preferred
• Commercially aware, proactive and keen to contribute beyond your own caseload
