Job Details

Senior Private Client Solicitor needed to continue the expansion of this growing practice. Salary up to £75,000 dependent on experience.

This is an exceptional role to work in a growing Private Client department which specialises in Wills, Trusts and Probate. The firm are looking for a Private Client Solicitor with at least 5 years PQE to join their busy, friendly South Kensington office.

The Firm

This firm is very similar in style to a West End practice. They have an excellent client base of HNW individuals and businesses, and a growing proportion of their work has an international element; the practice rests in the affluent area of South Kensington. The firm has been established 15+ years and have grown year on year and now have a head count of over 50 members of staff. The company has attracted many lawyers out of the city who are looking to deal still with a high quality of work but want better work-life balance, progression, and prospects.

A new vacancy has arisen for a Private Client Solicitor to join their flourishing South Kensington office.

The firm is dynamic, innovative, and quick to adapt to changing market trends. The team has a friendly, supportive, and progressive culture which has allowed them to have a staff retention rate of 95% in recent years.

The Role

The firm has a very large Wills cabinet through several smaller firm buy-outs, the department is busy and that is without the firm actively marketing the service. They are looking to start marketing the department and grow the headcount. For this reason, the role comes with good prospects for development and progression. You will deal with a caseload of; Wills, Estates, Trusts, Lasting powers of attorney and Court of protection work.

There will also be a requirement to advise on tax matters with an emphasis on IHT and Estate Planning. You will deal with an affluent client base which will include HNW individuals. The role will also provide the opportunity to work closely with the Residential Property team to give advice to purchasers, most of which are often offshore on how best to structure purchases with a view to IHT Estate Planning and Capital Gains tax.

Requirements:

  • Private Client Solicitor with at least 5 years PQE (there is no upper limit on the amount of experience)
  • Be a commercially minded lawyer, able to spot opportunities to build business
  • Have broad experience handling a general Private Client caseload with a specialism in Wills Tax and Probate.
  • Have first-class client care skills
  • Salary is negotiable depending on your background, plus a lucrative bonus structure
  • This role could be based in either their West End office, or their North London office.
  • There is a strong possibility for Partnership here since the firm will be looking to succession plan in the foreseeable future.

This role is an excellent opportunity for a Private Client Solicitor to join a growing, forward-thinking practice based in South Kensington.
