This is a brilliant opportunity for a Court of Protection Solicitor who’s hungry to take the reins and step into a key leadership role within a nationally respected firm.

  • Exposure to high-value work or serious injury litigation
  • Previous team leadership experience
  • Ability to work autonomously and mentor junior team members
  • Strategic and commercially aware with an interest in BD

What you’ll be doing

  • Run your own caseload of complex Deputyship and Trustee matters (pre- and post-settlement)
  • Oversee and delegate work to junior fee earners
  • Help grow the team and develop a clear local strategy for Court of Protection work
  • Attend clients in care settings, hospitals, and at home
  • Lead BD efforts with marketing support and budget to match
  • Input into wider firm leadership and innovation
  • Work alongside highly respected partners across offices

Salary & Benefits

  • Salary: Competitive, DOE (Partner or future Partner level)
  • Bonus: Up to 14%, and up to 20% at Partner level
  • Holiday: 35 days including bank holidays + 3 optional buyable days
  • Long service holiday increases (3 extra days after 5th, 7th, and 9th year)
  • Hybrid working: 3 days from home
  • Healthcare: Medicash plan for optical, dental, physio
  • Life assurance + enhanced sick pay
  • Tech: Excellent systems and support for remote working
  • Recognition: Monthly awards, social events, and a supportive culture
  • Progression: Clear and realistic pathway to Partner, with active succession planning
