Job content

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Private Client solicitor to head up a small team with a mandate to grow the department over the next couple of years.

If the following job requirements and experience match your skills, please ensure you apply promptly.

My client is a well-established law firm that has reached an exciting time in its growth with a number of planned key initiatives coming to fruition over the next few months.

A role has arisen for an experienced Private Client lawyer to take on a caseload of good quality work and head a small team of lawyers with the brief to expand the team into a new location.

You will be a solicitor or legal executive with at least 5 years experience advising clients on all aspects of Wills, Probate, Administration of Estates and matters relating to elderly clients. Some of the work will be high value and complex so experience of dealing with high net worth individuals would be useful.

The firm offers an attractive salary and benefits package and genuine partnership prospects within an organisation that is set to grow.

For more information on this exceptional opportunity or for general career advice in the strictest of confidence, please contact me, Jane Marshall at VG CHARLES &CO
