With an established presence across England and Wales and a brand-new office in Bath, the firm is investing in its future and is looking for an experienced Private Client Solicitor or Lawyer to help shape the next chapter.
Unlike many roles where you'll inherit an established caseload and simply maintain the status quo, this is a genuine opportunity to influence the growth of the Private Client offering in Bath. You'll become a key member of a collaborative team, enjoy real autonomy and play an important role in developing the firm's presence across the South West.
Founded over a decade ago, the firm has grown rapidly into a respected multi-office practice by combining high-quality legal advice with a modern, client-focused approach. Their continued expansion reflects both their ambition and their commitment to investing in talented lawyers who want to build long-term careers.
The Opportunity:
- You'll advise a broad range of individuals, families, business owners and high-net-worth clients across the full spectrum of private client matters, including:
- Wills and estate planning
- Probate and estate administration
- Trusts
- Lasting Powers of Attorney
- Inheritance Tax and succession planning
- Wealth management and business succession planning
- Building and developing long-term client relationships
- Working closely with accountants, independent financial advisers and other professional referrers to deliver joined-up advice
- Supporting the continued growth of the Private Client team and helping to develop the firm's profile across the region
This is an opportunity to work on varied, high-quality matters while enjoying the freedom to develop your own practice within a supportive and entrepreneurial environment.
What We Are Looking For:
- Qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with 3+ years' PQE in Private Client.
- Strong technical experience across a broad range of private client matters.
- Excellent communication and client care skills.
- Someone who enjoys building trusted, long-term relationships with clients and referrers.
- Commercial awareness with an interest in business development.
- A collaborative approach combined with the confidence to work autonomously.
- Ambitious, proactive and looking to play a key role in a growing team.
What Is in It for You?
- High-quality, varied private client work with individuals, families, business owners and high-net-worth clients.
- The opportunity to join a growing national firm with a modern, forward-thinking approach - a rare chance to help shape and grow a brand-new office rather than stepping into an established team.
- Genuine autonomy and the opportunity to build your own profile and client relationships.
- A collaborative, supportive culture where ideas are encouraged and progression is based on contribution.
- Clear opportunities for long-term career development as the firm continues to expand.
Some specific benefits include: private health insurance, company pension, enhanced annual leave + birthday leave and support with training/further professional development.
