Senior Solicitor in Hampshire

Senior Solicitor contentious and non-contentious private client work; wills and probate matters; company and business enquiries; contractual disputes; general high-street legal enquiries; and supervising and developing junior members of the team. We do not expect one person to be a specialist in every area. We are more interested in finding an experienced, commercially minded solicitor with a strong core practice area, broad legal knowledge and the confidence to deal with clients, supervise junior lawyers and take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the office. About you You are likely to be an experienced solicitor who: is confident running matters independently; has a broad background in private client, civil litigation, commercial work or another relevant high-street practice area; enjoys direct client contact; is comfortable supervising and developing junior lawyers; has good judgement and knows when specialist input is required; is commercially aware and interested in helping to develop a growing office; enjoys working as part of a small, collaborative team; and wants a role with real autonomy and responsibility. Experience as a Senior Solicitor, Associate, Head of Department, Salaried Partner or in a small/high-street practice would all be particularly relevant. Why this role? This is not simply another fee-earner position. You will have the opportunity to take ownership of an established office, lead an existing junior team and play an important part in developing Wildcat Law’s presence in Eastleigh. For the right person, there is significant scope to shape the role and the future development of the office. Location and hours This is an office-based position at our Eastleigh office, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm . Because the role involves leading the office, supervising junior staff and being available to clients locally, it is not intended to be a hybrid position. Salary £55,000–£70,000 depending on experience. We may consider a higher package for an exceptional candidate who brings significant management experience, an established local profile or a particularly strong breadth of practice. About Wildcat Law Wildcat Law is an SRA-regulated law firm providing legal services to individuals, families and businesses. We are looking for someone who would like to become an important part of the next stage of development of our Eastleigh office. Interested? Please apply through LinkedIn with your CV. We are also very happy to have an informal and confidential conversation with experienced solicitors who would like to find out more before applying.
