Solicitor - Private Wealth in Lymington

An established and well-respected regional law firm is seeking a Solicitor or Legal Executive to join its specialist Private Wealth team. Known for delivering high-quality legal services across the South, the firm has built an excellent reputation for supporting clients through complex and sensitive private client matters. With a culture that puts people first, the organisation combines professional excellence with a genuinely collaborative environment, offering long-term career development and the chance to work alongside highly regarded experts in their field. The firm maintains a strong presence across the region and is committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive and progressive workplace where individuals can thrive.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a Private Wealth lawyer to join a dedicated and high-performing team based in the South, with hybrid working arrangements that make the role equally accessible for those living in or near Southampton. You will manage your own diverse caseload of private client matters, including the preparation of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, lifetime planning, estate administration and work involving trusts. You will play a central role in guiding clients through significant personal decisions, developing deep, trusted relationships and offering clear, empathetic and expert advice. As part of a dynamic team, you will also support and mentor junior colleagues, contributing to their development while benefiting from the guidance of senior specialists within the department. Opportunities to engage in marketing and business development activities will allow you to enhance both your professional profile and the ongoing growth of the team.

You will be a qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with prior experience in Private Wealth or Private Client work and the ability to manage your own caseload confidently. While the ideal candidate will have between one and four years of experience in this area, applications are welcomed from lawyers who feel ready to take on a role at this level. Strong communication skills, a client-centred approach and the ability to navigate sensitive conversations with clarity and empathy will be essential. A genuine interest in developing long-term relationships, contributing to the team's success and engaging with wider business development initiatives will help you excel. The firm values individuals who are thoughtful, collaborative and committed to achieving the best outcomes for clients.

You will join a friendly and expert team within a firm that places real emphasis on wellbeing, flexibility and professional growth. Hybrid working is available, and although the role is based in Lymington, the firm is happy to accommodate candidates who may be based in or around Southampton. With a strong commitment to career progression and a supportive culture, you will benefit from high-quality work, excellent training opportunities and the chance to be part of a firm that values creativity, humanity and collaboration. A competitive salary and benefits package further reflects the organisation's commitment to attracting and retaining talented lawyers.

If you are interested in this role or would like to discuss it further, please get in touch for a confidential conversation. We would expect a lawyer with the stated PQE to have developed the appropriate level of experience, but applications from individuals with higher or lower PQE are equally welcome.
