Job Details

Superb career development opportunity focusing on higher value work in the affluent suburbs of Cheshire.

This Cheshire law firm enjoys an enviable reputation acting for private clients and providing commercial services to local businesses. The private client team is well-established and dates back many years with the benefit of a valuable wills database and numerous professional executor and trustee appointments. With an excellent reputation, the team continually attracts new clients, referral and recommendations.

Due to expansion, a new position has arisen which is ideally suited to a recently qualified or NQ solicitor.

  • Living wills, welfare plans and capacity Issues

There is an interesting mix of both old money clients in family trusts and inherited wealth, together with new money clients including entrepreneurs, professionals, owners & shareholders of private limited companies and SMEs. 

You will receive excellent mentoring in this role. Whilst developing your skills and abilities, you should be comfortable working on your own files where appropriate and assisting more experienced colleagues and partners on their files.

We would be delighted to hear from applicants who can demonstrate strong academics (typically 2:1 degree) and a strong foundation of private client work.
