Job Details

Private Client Solicitor/Legal Executive - Flexible Working

A firmly established and award-winning full-service practice is keen to appoint an additional experienced Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive to its well-regarded Private Client Team in a senior capacity and be based at the firms' office in South Birmingham.

This Legal 500 rated practice is arguably one of the strongest regional firms in the West Midlands and it is renowned as being particularly strong within the family, private client, commercial and property sectors. The Private Client Team acts on behalf of a very strong client base which comprises clients within both the locality and also stretching into Warwickshire and Worcestershire with many of those being on a solid financial footing meaning that there will be exposure to a lot of HNW tax and trusts matters.

The firm is now keen to speak with an experienced Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive who has a minimum of 4 years' PQE and who is able to handle the full remit of private client matters with very little supervision. Where this role differs from others is that there is an emphasis on succession planning meaning that there is a very real possibility of you progressing and being able to head up the department within the coming years. As such, and given the seniority of this position, it is vital that you are able to work autonomously, have a very broad experience of dealing with all aspects of private client matters and that you are also experienced in undertaking business development to open up new revenue streams. Any following or part following is of course not a pre-requisite although would be very well received to the extent that a bespoke remuneration package can be agreed to reflect the value that you might bring to the team.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who remains keen on continuing to deal with top quality work but who is perhaps disillusioned with the operating structure in their current team and are perhaps tired of being overlooked for promotion again and again. This role would allow you to work in a more collaborative environment where you will be a key decision maker and will have very little in the way of bureaucracy or committees to answer to, and you will also have the freedom to develop your own ideas and reap the benefits of this.

The firm is offering a very competitive salary and benefits package which includes a generous holiday allowance with the opportunity to purchase more annual leave, childcare vouchers, healthcare policies and season ticket travel loans. You will be able to benefit from a lucrative bonus scheme in addition to flexibility in the working pattern so if you are an experienced Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive who is looking for a role with acres of progression opportunities then this opportunity is well worth exploring further.
