***Brand New Contentious Probate Role - Top tier regional legal 500 - Surrey***

I am working with an internationally recognised, Legal 500 and Chambers ranked firm in Surrey that is widely recognised one of the top regional law firms in the South East. They are now seeking a solicitor or associate with 0-4 year's experience to join the team.

This is an opportunity for a technically capable and ambitious solicitor with specific experience within contested wills, probate and trust work to join a high performing and growing team that are looking to take on a further member due to the ongoing success of the business. Previous experience can have come as part of a dedicated contentious probate team or gained within a wider dispute resolution group.

The contentious probate team is one of the few specialising in this area in the regions and are ranked within the top tier of the legal 500. The incoming solicitor will be based in this team, although working closely with the firm's private wealth offering. Both teams are ranked in the top tier of the legal 500 and the latest Chambers rankings.

Ther role will include:

Advice to private banks, trust companies and high net worth private individuals
Trustee disputes including breach of trust and directions claims
Estate disputes involving capacity, 1975 Act claims and undue influence
Court of Protection disputes
Asset tracing and freezing injunction disputes concerning trust claims and allegations

Candidates of all levels with expeirence within a well established regional, city or west end firm, either within general litigation or with a specialist focus on contested trusts and estates. First class training and support will be provided to the incoming solicitor, as well as a clear plan for progression within a company that has incredibly low turnover over the last few years.

The firm will pay a highly competitive salary and can offer a relaxed but highly effective working environment. There is a comprehensive benefits package on offer, including full private healthcare and insurance.
