Job Details

Private Client Lawyer

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Private Client Fee-Earner to join the private client team of this well-established West Midlands law firm, based in their Coventry office. Experience is the most important factor and our client will consider a Solicitor, Legal Executive or experienced Paralegal for this role.

Our client is a trusted and respected regional practice with a strong reputation for offering an exceptional legal service to individuals and families across Coventry, Warwickshire and the Midlands. This well-established firm has a clear vision and a modern approach to the provision of legal services and is well positioned to consolidate its position as a leading law firm in the Midlands.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and enthusiastic Private Client Lawyer to join a very successful team to handle a high calibre caseload of wills, trusts and probate matters. As you will be based in an affluent area, the estates you will be handling are likely to be at the higher end.

It is envisaged that the role would suit a Private Client Lawyer with ideally at least three years' relevant experience of handling a varied wills and probate caseload, however applications from more junior lawyers who feel that they have the competence and ability to undertake the role will also be considered. You will need to be able to hit the ground running and to work with minimum supervision.

In return you will be paid a very competitive salary and an extensive benefits package. You will enjoy secretarial support and you will be able to earn bonuses of up to 25%.

This firm puts its staff at the heart of everything it does and you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere that is a world away from a traditional law firm. The firm has a high employee retention rate because they support their staff and develop potential. They also have fun and ensure that time is taken to celebrate success. There is an agile working policy in operation which is currently evolving to provide even greater flexibility for those that don't want to adhere to a strict "nine to five" role.

For further information on this Private Client Lawyer position, or an initial conversation in strict confidence, please contact Tracy Harris at QED Legal.
