Job description

A really attractive opportunity has arisen with a well-regarded and long-established Cumbrian law firm who are looking to appoint an experienced Private Client Solicitor to lead and develop their Private Client department.

This is a genuine Head of Department role, either for someone ready to step into that position now, or for an experienced solicitor looking to progress into leadership over time. The firm is happy to offer autonomy, trust and the freedom to shape the future direction of the department, supported by a strong and loyal existing client base.

The firm has an excellent reputation locally, known for high-quality work, long-standing client relationships and a refreshingly supportive, down-to-earth culture.

The role:

  • Leading and developing the Private Client department
  • Managing a varied caseload including wills, probate, estate administration, LPAs and trusts
  • Playing a key role in the strategic direction and future growth of the team
  • Supporting and mentoring junior members of the department

About you:

  • An experienced Private Client Solicitor
  • Ready for a Head of Department role, or already operating at that level
  • Confident managing client relationships and contributing to business development
  • Looking for a role with genuine autonomy and long-term prospects

Location & lifestyle:

This role does come with a relocation opportunity. For anyone who's ever thought about swapping long commutes, traffic and constant pressure for something more balanced, Cumbria offers an exceptional quality of life without compromising on the quality of work. Think lakes, coastline, countryside and far fewer hours lost to commuting.

The firm is open-minded and happy to speak with:

  • Experienced Private Client Solicitors looking to step into leadership
  • Existing Heads of Department seeking a change of pace and lifestyle

If this role and opportunity sounds of interest, please email your CV now to j.forshaw@clayton-legal.co.uk or call Justine on 0161 914 7357
