We are looking for a newly qualified solicitor to join our private client team and specialise in this area of work. The successful candidate is likely to be coming to the end of their training contract or SQE.

Our clients include those referred to the team from the Court of Protection team – Wills, statutory wills and Administration of Estates alongside clients referred to us from other law firms seeking specialist help, from other professionals and through our website.
Current team
The current team of 8 solicitors and two paralegals is supported by 3 dedicated secretaries.
We work on a hybrid basis, with all members of the firm in the office at least one day per week - the mix of home/office is adjusted to suit the individual and the needs of the team they work in; we envisage that the successful candidate in this role will work in the office two days a week.
