This is a genuinely rare opportunity for an experienced Contentious Probate Lawyer to establish and grow a specialist inheritance disputes offering within a well-established Yorkshire firm with a strong reputation, excellent infrastructure and significant untapped demand.
The firm is already receiving a high volume of contentious probate enquiries that are currently being referred externally, creating an immediate opportunity for the right person to step in and build a sustainable, profitable practice with full backing from senior leadership.
You’ll work closely with both the Wills, Trusts & Probate and Civil Litigation teams, benefiting from strong internal referral streams and support from senior leadership, while enjoying genuine autonomy to shape the direction of the department long-term.
This role would suit someone entrepreneurial and ambitious who wants more than simply managing a caseload. The opportunity here is to build something meaningful, developing a recognised contentious probate offering across South Yorkshire with the potential to recruit, mentor and lead a growing team over time.
The firm itself is known for its collaborative culture, excellent staff retention and commitment to progression and flexibility, making it an excellent environment for someone looking to combine high-quality work with long-term career development.
