This is a senior appointment, and the firm is open to considering candidates at Senior Associate, Legal Director or Partner level, depending on experience and the value they can bring to the practice.#
Recognised for delivering exceptional client service and technical excellence, the firm advises high-net-worth individuals, families, entrepreneurs and business owners on some of their most significant personal and financial matters.

Working closely with colleagues across the wider firm, you'll build long-term client relationships while delivering practical, commercially focused advice tailored to each client's individual circumstances.
Depending on your level of experience, you'll also have the opportunity to mentor junior colleagues, contribute to business development initiatives and play an active role in the continued growth of the Private Client practice.
