What you’ll be doing

  • Managing a varied Private Client caseload including wills, probate, estate administration, trusts, LPAs and IHT planning
  • Advising clients on estate planning, succession planning and asset protection
  • Drafting wills, trust documentation and deeds of variation
  • Administering estates from initial instruction through to final distribution
  • Identifying legal, tax and practical risks within estates and advising accordingly
  • Delivering clear, sensitive advice to clients, often in emotional circumstances
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships and repeat work
  • Using case management systems and ensuring full regulatory compliance

Salary & Benefits

  • Supportive, close-knit team environment
  • Opportunity to grow with a firm that has clear long-term ambitions
