A highly rated Legal 500 listed commercial practice is now implementing the next phase of its expansion and so is eager to strengthen its Private Client Team with the hire of an additional Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive to be based at the firms' office in South Staffordshire.

This practice is renowned as a very strong player in the locality and the Private Client Team is proud of its well-deserved reputation as being one of the "go to" teams in the area in relation to all aspects of private client matters.

The objective now is to bring on board either a solicitor or a legal executive with anything from 2 to 5 years' experience in order to service the influx of new instructions the team is receiving.

You will have will handle a broad variety of wills, estates and trusts on behalf which will include some high net worth clients and so will be exposed to some tax and trust work, will drafting and estate administration. You will not just simply deal with relatively straight forward matters as some of the work will comprise complex subject matter such as dealing with high value financial structures. What is important is that you are ambitious, enthusiastic and have a desire to continue to specialise within the private client sector and be keen to benefit from enhancing your skills whilst working alongside seasoned practitioners given that the team can offer acres of progression and development opportunities.

The firm is offering a competitive salary and benefits package and a generous holiday allowance which includes being able to take advantage of the firm closing over the Christmas period thereby guaranteeing the whole of the festive period off. The firm is also proud of its collaborative and supportive environment and there are a number of social outings organised by the practice throughout the year.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who is looking to move to a well-regarded firm and deal with high quality matters where you will quickly enhance your skills under the guidance of very good lawyers so for more information on this Private Client Solicitor / Legal Executive role please contact Matt Robinson at QED Legal.
