  • Real scope for salaried or equity partnership in the future
  • Step into a ready-made caseload with leadership responsibility and real autonomy
  • Excellent salary, genuine work–life balance and clear partnership potential

This is a rare senior opportunity for an experienced Private Client Solicitor to step into a succession-planned role in South Manchester.

You’ll be joining a well-established, friendly firm with strong staff retention and a steady flow of private client work.

The role offers autonomy, leadership, and the chance to shape the future of the Private Client department, without the pressure of having to generate your own work.

Who we’re looking for

  • Private Client Solicitor with 5+ years’ PQE
  • Strong experience across Wills, LPAs and Probate, including some HNW matters
  • Confident running a caseload independently with minimal supervision
  • Comfortable supporting and mentoring junior solicitors
  • Someone ready for greater autonomy, influence and progression
  • Ambitious but collaborative, a good cultural fit for a close-knit team

What you’ll be doing

  • Taking ownership of a busy, well-established private client caseload
  • Handling Wills, LPAs and Probate work (no Court of Protection)
  • Working with the support of a dedicated paralegal and secretary
  • Providing guidance and day-to-day support to a junior solicitor in the team
  • Playing a key role in the succession and future development of the Private Client department
  • Helping shape the department’s long-term direction, with scope to grow the team further

Salary & Benefits

  • Excellent, competitive salary (reflective of seniority and responsibility)
  • Real scope for salaried or equity partnership in the future
  • Car parking space provided
  • Hybrid working – 1 day per week from home, with full WFH set-up
  • 35-hour working week
  • Full-time or part-time (4 days) considered
  • Genuine work–life balance, no long hours culture
  • Friendly, non-corporate working environment
  • Strong staff retention across the firm
