Sellick Partnership is working with a growing and award-winning financial planning business to recruit a Private Client Solicitor to join its developing Estate Planning team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a 2+ PQE Private Client Solicitor looking to step into a genuinely client-facing role, working with high-net-worth individuals, business owners and entrepreneurs on their wills, trusts, LPAs and wider estate planning.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of your own Estate Planning caseload, meeting clients face-to-face, taking detailed instructions and providing tailored advice around their personal and family circumstances.
You’ll work closely with experienced Financial Advisors, ensuring clients receive joined-up advice across their financial and estate planning needs.
You’ll predominantly work with high-net-worth individuals, business owners and high earners, meaning you’ll gain exposure to more complex estates, family structures, business interests and inheritance tax planning.
Key Responsibilities

- Develop your technical knowledge through training and further qualifications.
- Play a key role in the continued growth of the Estate Planning service.
About You

- Strong experience across wills, trusts and LPAs.
- Good understanding of inheritance tax and taxable estates.
- Comfortable dealing directly with clients and explaining complex matters clearly.
- Experience with HNW clients or business owners would be advantageous.
- Exposure to business interests, agricultural estates or cross-border matters would be beneficial.
- Ambitious and keen to build something rather than simply manage an existing caseload.
What’s in it for you?
- £40,000 - £45,000 base salary.
- £70,000 - £75,000 realistic OTE.
- Bonus structure designed to reward quality and performance.
