Over the longer term, you’ll play a key role in mentoring trainees, contributing to business development, and continuing to grow a department that competes with top-tier city teams for quality of work.

  • Full UK driving licence (essential for client visits)

What you’ll be doing

  • Taking ownership of an existing Court of Protection caseload
  • Handling predominantly Property & Finance work, with exposure to: High-value clinical negligence deputyships Complex and contentious Court of Protection matters Some elderly client work
  • Working directly with Partners on complex cases
  • Being client-facing and fee-earning from an early stage
  • Supporting and, over time, mentoring more junior colleagues
  • Contributing to business development and the continued growth of the department

Salary & Benefits

  • Highly competitve salary
  • Nationally recognised Court of Protection work that rivals top city teams
  • Walking into an established caseload, no need to build from scratch
  • Hybrid working (typically 2 days from home)
  • Clear progression framework with title reviews every 12 months
  • Strong culture of internal development, training contracts, apprenticeships, and promotions supported
  • Extensive wellbeing programme
  • Post-probation benefits including: Tech scheme (salary sacrifice) Buy/sell holidays Cycle to Work scheme
  • Professional but fun environment with lots of charity work, socials, networking, and a genuine “family feel”
  • Modern, forward-thinking approach to systems and technology
