An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented Private Client Solicitor with 2-3 PQE to join a highly respected law firm based in Leeds. This award-winning team has a strong reputation in the legal sector and is recognised in the Legal 500 for private client team.

In return for your dedication and skill, the firm offers a top-of-market salary, 35-hour work week, and the opportunity to work from home for 2 days each week. This is a permanent role that provides a wealth of high-net-worth work and great exposure to a range of corporate and commercial legal matters.

You will play a vital role within a growing team that values personality and fit as much as qualification. You’ll work alongside an equity partner, associate, and trainee, as well as paralegals, dealing with a mixture of private client work in a hands-on, fast-paced yet manageable environment. Your ability to communicate with clients and team members in a calming and personable manner will be crucial to success in the role.

You’ll need to have an understanding and willingness to learn about HNW matters and have a calm, personable demeanour. We welcome candidates from any background or law firm, as long as you are driven and willing to learn. The firm is committed to training and developing employees, so although previous experience in HNW matters would be beneficial, it’s not essential.

If you are a Private Client Solicitor seeking to advance your career in a dynamic and accessible environment, look no further! This opportunity allows you to develop your professional abilities while working in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
