Are you a Private Client lawyer who wants a proper caseload and the autonomy to run it your own way?
We're working with a long-established firm close to Reigate with a genuinely settled Private Client team, and they're keen to add an experienced fee earner to it. This is a broad role rather than a narrow one - wills, probate and estate administration, LPAs and trusts, with estate planning and inheritance tax advice running through it.
Day to day you'd be drafting, advising and managing your own files end to end: taking instructions, preparing wills and trust deeds, applying for grants of probate and letters of administration, handling IHT matters with HMRC, and seeing estates through to distribution.
What sets this team apart is how seriously they take the human side of the work. Clients often come to them at the hardest points in their lives, so the firm looks for people who can give clear, practical advice without losing the sensitivity the situation calls for.
You'll likely have
- Qualification as a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive, with your career built in Private Client
- Around five years' post-qualification experience or more
- The ability to explain technical points in plain terms, in writing and face to face
- Genuine attention to detail - the drafting demands it
- Confidence building lasting client relationships
In return
A competitive salary and benefits package and hybrid working. The chance to work with an experienced and collaborative team, and real support for your continued development.
