What you’ll be doing

  • Advising on estate and succession planning
  • Working on family investment companies and partnership structures
  • Advising on inheritance tax and capital gains tax
  • Drafting complex Wills
  • Advising trustees on powers and duties
  • Establishing and administering trusts
  • Handling estate administration for high-value estates
  • Supervising junior team members and supporting their development
  • Working alongside partners on complex and high-profile matters

  • Firm-wide bonus paid equally to all staff, linked to financial performance
  • Generous pension with salary sacrifice options
  • Five weeks’ annual leave, with the option to buy or sell an additional week
  • Additional paid leave for life events such as moving house or religious holidays
  • Enhanced family-forming benefits, including extended maternity, adoption and shared parental pay
  • Income protection and life assurance
  • Flexible benefits package allowing you to tailor rewards to suit you
