We have an exclusive mandate to seek an experienced private client lawyer to join the highly regarded private client team of a long-established, full-service London law firm.

The firm
The firm enjoys an excellent reputation for private client work and has built a loyal client base over many years. Unlike some firms in the market, it remains highly stable, independent and focused on long-term growth rather than external investment or private equity ownership. The culture is collaborative, supportive and partner-led, with genuine progression opportunities for ambitious lawyers who are looking to establish themselves for the long term.
The role
This role will involve advising high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families and trustees on a wide range of complex private client matters, with a particular emphasis on UK-based work, including:

Candidate profile
Applications are welcomed from lawyers who have:
You will also, ideally, have STEP qualification and/or ATT/CTA qualification (or active progress towards qualification).

The work/life balance is very good for a firm and team of this reputation. xwwtmva
The team operates a flexible hybrid working policy, although lawyers are expected to spend the majority of the working week (typically four days) in the office.
