Private Client Solicitor
- Step into a well-established team with an existing, high-quality caseload – no need to build your own work.
- Enjoy a supportive, social, and people-focused firm known for its strong work-life balance and long-term employee retention.
- Hybrid working with flexible hours and a clear pathway for career progression within one of the best firms in Shropshire.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Private Client Solicitor (2-4 PQE) to join a leading Legal 500-ranked firm in Shrewsbury. The role offers a broad general private client caseload, covering wills, LPAs, probate, and estate administration, with no supervisory responsibilities – allowing you to focus purely on fee earning.
You’ll be joining a friendly, down-to-earth team, working alongside experienced partners and solicitors who are committed to supporting your development. The firm is well known for its positive culture, flexible working policies, and commitment to employee wellbeing.
What We’re Looking For
- 2-4 years’ PQE in private client law (1 PQE considered with prior legal assistant experience).
- Experience handling a broad private client caseload (specialists looking to broaden their experience are welcome).
- Warm, personable, and proactive approach – the team is highly collaborative and social.
- Strong client-facing and communication skills to build rapport with a mix of local and high-net-worth clients.
- Willingness to work from the Shrewsbury office at least three days per week, with the option of hybrid working after an initial period.
Salary & Benefits
- Salary up to £47,000, with progression opportunities available.
- Hybrid working – three days in the office, two from home after an initial period.
- Flexible working hours, including core hours of 9-5:15 with the ability to start later or bank time.
- Generous annual leave, starting at 23 days and increasing with service, plus the option to buy up to five additional days.
- Wellbeing initiatives, including access to occupational therapists, wellbeing coaches, and regular social events like the firm’s weekly “coffee corner”.
- Comprehensive benefits package, including Medicash, salary sacrifice tech schemes, and cycle-to-work schemes.
- Long-term job security, with the private client team consistently growing due to high demand.
