Job description

I am recruiting on behalf of a leading regional L500 law firm, with national recognition, for a senior level Contentious Probate Solicitor at Partner level.

The firm's contentious probate practice is a growing and strategic priority. Under strong leadership, the team advises on complex estate, will and trust litigation, Inheritance Act claims, proprietary estoppel and agricultural succession disputes.

The Role

This is a senior-level appointment - either at director or junior partner level, depending on experience - to help shape and grow the firm's inheritance and trust disputes team. The successful candidate will:

  • Provide expert technical advice on contentious probate, trust disputes, will challenges, Inheritance Act claims, executor/trustee disputes and related matters
  • Independently manage and lead complex cases from inception to resolution
  • Mentor and supervise more junior solicitors, paralegals and apprentices, helping to develop the next generation of talent
  • Delegate work appropriately, ensuring efficient case flow and high-quality outputs
  • Attend and contribute at regular team meetings across the firm's offices
  • Take on responsibility for case management, freeing up more senior partners to focus on strategic development

What You'll Get

  • A competitive salary
  • Real potential for progression into more senior partner or equity roles as the team expands
  • Flexibility in location
  • Opportunity to help build and shape a high-quality, specialist inheritance disputes offering
  • Work alongside seasoned litigators and private wealth experts in a firm that values technical excellence, innovation and client care

About You

  • You will have significant experience in contentious probate / inheritance and trust disputes
  • You must be comfortable and confident in independently managing complex litigation
  • You should have a track record of mentoring or supervising more junior lawyers
  • You are ambitious, but realistic, you seek a leadership role rather than a rapid jump to full equity
  • You are collegial and personable, able to fit within a collaborative, collegial team structure

Why Join This Team?

  • The firm is deeply committed to building a leading inheritance disputes practice
  • You will be part of a highly regarded, award-winning firm that combines technical strength with a supportive, down-to-earth culture
  • This role offers real ownership, influence and visibility
  • You'll benefit from working alongside recognised specialists (including ACTAPS and STEP-affiliated practitioners)
