Job Details
Fantastic opportunity for a Junior Solicitor / FCILEX to join a Legal 500 listed law firm and progress your career within a strong department that will afford you the opportunities to develop. Ideally you will be a 1 - 4 year PQE Solicitor or FCILEX with equivalent experience.
The team deal with the full remit of private client work from standard wills & probate, LPA's and court of protection to more complex inheritance tax planning and administration of estates. You will initially be managing a reduced caseload and will be working closely with a partner on any complex matters until you are able to handle your own full caseload. The caseload will develop into dealing with HNW clients with assets such as agricultural properties, overseas properties and large estates with values ranging into the £millions.
You may be required to travel between separate offices and meet with clients on a regular basis, so you will need to have access to a vehicle.
Ideally you will have gained recent exposure to private client in one of your training contract seats or currently specialise as a FCILEX. Salary will be circa £28k - £36k with an attractive bonus scheme and great work / life balance!

QED
An acronym of the latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum which translates as "thus it is demonstrated" or "that which was to be demonstrated". It is most often used as an annotation at the end of a complex mathematical, scientific or philosophical argument to show that the author had proven what he had set out to prove. In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
