  • Principal Associate role advising high-net-worth and entrepreneurial clients
  • Clear pathway to partnership with autonomy to grow the Leeds private client offering
  • Hybrid working with a senior-level salary and comprehensive benefits package

This is a senior opportunity for an experienced Private Client Solicitor to step into an established Leeds-based client base within a highly regarded national private client team.

The role has arisen following the relocation of a senior colleague, meaning there is already high-quality work in place. You’ll take ownership of existing Leeds matters, ensure continuity for clients, and play a key role in strengthening and expanding the private client presence locally.

You’ll handle complex, high-value private client work while working closely with senior colleagues across the national team. For the right person, this role offers genuine long-term progression, with a clear and realistic route to full partnership and the opportunity to shape the future of the Leeds practice.

Who we’re looking for

  • Senior Private Client solicitor, typically operating at Principal Associate / Senior Associate level
  • Strong experience advising HNW individuals, business owners and families
  • Proven background in estate planning, trusts, wills and succession planning
  • Comfortable managing complex matters independently
  • Confident building and maintaining long-term client relationships
  • Able to contribute to business development and referral relationships
  • Commercially aware, credible, and professional in front of clients
  • Collaborative mindset, with an interest in mentoring and supporting junior colleagues
  • Ambitious with a long-term view toward partnership

What you’ll be doing

  • Taking ownership of existing Leeds-based private client work
  • Managing a caseload of high-value and complex private client matters
  • Advising on estate and succession planning for HNW individuals and families
  • Handling trusts, wills, probate and complex estate administration
  • Advising business owners and entrepreneurs on asset and succession structures
  • Building and maintaining strong client and intermediary relationships
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members locally
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across the wider national private client team
  • Contributing to the continued growth of the Leeds private client offering

Salary & Benefits

  • Hybrid working with up to 3 days working from home
  • Part-time working considered
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Private healthcare
  • Pension and life assurance
  • Income protection
  • Technology and cycle-to-work schemes
  • Inclusive, supportive culture with strong national backing
  • Clear and supported route to full equity partnership
