Are you looking for a genuinely varied role within a friendly and well-regarded firm? We’re working with a highly respected practice in Colchester who are seeking a new addition to their Private Client team. This is a fantastic opportunity to take on a broad range of work with scope to shape your career as you progress.
Why This Role Could Be Right for You
- Well-Established Reputation – the firm has a strong presence in the local market, with a loyal client base.
- Wide Variety of Work – from wills and LPAs to estate administration and trusts, your caseload will be diverse and rewarding.
- Flexibility – full-time or four days a week considered. Mainly office-based, but hybrid working (1–2 days a week from home) can be arranged.
- Career Progression – for the right person, there’s clear potential to move into management or even partnership in the future – though this isn’t a requirement.
- Competitive Salary – c. £40,000 to £70,000 (potentially up to £80,000), depending on experience and what you bring to the team.
The Work You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be handling a broad mix of private client matters including:
- Administration of taxable and non-taxable estates, including intestacies
- Drafting wills and lasting powers of attorney
- Advising on and administering LPAs
- (Optional) trust and deputyship work, if within your experience
The role is suited to someone who enjoys autonomy, can pick up work and run with it, and takes pride in delivering a supportive, professional service to clients.
Who We’re Looking For
- A solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx) with private client experience
- Open PQE – what matters most is your ability to handle matters with confidence
- Strong client care and communication skills
- A proactive and reliable approach, able to work independently while being part of a close-knit team
This is an excellent opportunity to join a smaller but ambitious firm where your contribution will be noticed and valued.
All conversations are confidential and focused on understanding your aspirations:
