Job Description:

If you are qualified Private Client Solicitor looking for a platform to grow your practice while continuing to undertake high-quality work, this could be an excellent next step!

We are working with a successful national law firm with an outstanding reputation for advising businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals and families across the UK. The firm combines the calibre of work and clients typically associated with larger city practices with the flexibility to be based from any of its Midlands offices, allowing lawyers to enjoy first-class work without compromising on location or lifestyle.

This is a firm that values substance over status. They’re looking for lawyers with energy, commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset, people who enjoy building trusted relationships, taking ownership, spotting opportunities and helping to drive the business forward.

Whether your background is with an international firm, a respected regional practice or a boutique, what matters most is the strength of your relationships, your reputation in the market and the value you’ll bring to the team. The firm has created a collaborative culture where ambition is recognised, ideas are welcomed and lawyers are encouraged to develop their practice.

The Opportunity

You will join a highly regarded Private Client team who advise a diverse portfolio of high-net-worth individuals, families, entrepreneurs and business owners on a broad range of matters including wills, estate and succession planning, trusts, inheritance tax planning, estate administration, wealth preservation and lasting powers of attorney. The team also advises on more complex cross-border succession planning and trust matters, providing an excellent platform for lawyers looking to undertake high-quality, technically challenging work.

The firm is seeking an experienced Senior Associate, Junior Partner or an established Partner looking for a fresh platform.

You will enjoy a high degree of autonomy while working within a collaborative national team that actively encourages cross-referrals and business development across multiple practice areas. This is an excellent opportunity to further establish your profile within a firm that genuinely invests in its people and supports long-term growth.

Why this opportunity stands out

  • High-quality Private Client work without the need to relocate to a major city.
  • Access to an established client base together with excellent cross-referral opportunities.
  • Flexibility to be based from any of the firm’s Midlands offices.
  • Entrepreneurial, supportive culture where initiative, collaboration and business development are recognised and rewarded.
  • The opportunity to work alongside highly regarded colleagues within a nationally respected Private Client practice.
  • A firm that encourages lawyers to build their profile and shape the future direction of their practice.

About You

  • You will be an England & Wales qualified Private Client Solicitor, ideally operating at Senior Associate, Legal Director, Junior Partner or Partner level.
  • You will have a strong technical background across a broad range of Private Client matters and enjoy building long-term relationships with clients and professional introducers.
  • You will ideally have an existing following, established referrer relationships or a demonstrable track record of developing business and building lasting client relationships.
  • You will be commercially minded, proactive and keen to play an active role in the continued growth and success of the team.

Whether you’re looking for a stronger platform to develop your practice, access to a broader client base or a fresh challenge within a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment, I’d be delighted to discuss this opportunity with you in complete confidence.
