Private Client Solicitor
- Join a growing Private Client team handling HNW estates, business-owner and farming client work
- Collaborative, down-to-earth culture with no internal competition or hierarchy politics
- Strong quality caseload, supportive leadership and clear long-term progression
Not every private client role offers exposure to £20–30m estates, succession planning work and close collaboration with accountants and IFAs, but this one does.
This well-regarded Staffordshire firm has grown its Private Client department from three people to nine in just a few years, driven by reputation and repeat work rather than aggressive expansion. Demand remains particularly strong, creating the need for another solicitor to join the team.
You’ll handle a varied caseload covering wills, probate and estate administration, with exposure to both straightforward and high-net-worth matters. There’s also the opportunity to develop your technical skills further through complex estates and succession planning work.
The team culture is one of the biggest selling points here. It’s collaborative, supportive and refreshingly ego-free. You’ll work closely with an approachable and highly respected leader who invests heavily in development and believes happy lawyers produce better work.
Who we’re looking for
- Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive with experience in wills, probate and estate administration
- Able to manage a caseload with a good level of autonomy
- Strong client care and communication skills
- Team-oriented, approachable and down-to-earth
- Keen to continue developing technically within a supportive environment
What you’ll be doing
- Managing a varied private client caseload
- Handling probate, wills and estate administration matters
- Working on HNW estates and succession planning matters
- Collaborating with IFAs and accountants where needed
- Building strong client relationships and contributing to team growth
Salary & Benefits
- £43,000 – £55,000 depending on experience
- Strong quality work, including HNW estates
- Supportive and collaborative culture
- Flexible working depending on experience
- Excellent progression opportunities within a growing department
- Strong work-life balance and approachable leadership
