Job Description
Private Wealth Partner | Lead a New Practice | West End, London
Apply promptly! A high volume of applicants is expected for the role as detailed below, do not wait to send your CV.
This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to join one of London's most prestigious West End law firms at a pivotal stage in its growth.
For decades, the firm has built an exceptional reputation acting for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, family offices, household names in the creative industries and successful business owners. With an enviable client base and a culture built around long-term relationships, they have become one of the most recognised names within their specialist sectors.
The next phase of their growth is the launch of a dedicated Private Wealth practice.
With an established Ultra High Net Worth Family team already advising wealthy individuals and families on complex family matters, there is significant untapped potential for a market-leading Private Wealth offering. The client relationships already exist and the firm is now looking for the right lawyer to build a department around them.
This is an opportunity to inherit referrals from an exceptional existing platform whilst using your existing relationships and contacts, creating something that is genuinely your own.
Why This Firm?
Few firms can offer the combination of brand recognition, client quality and entrepreneurial freedom available here.
The firm acts for an outstanding portfolio of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, many of whom require sophisticated private wealth advice alongside the legal services they already receive. Their collaborative culture means partners work closely across departments, creating a steady flow of cross-referral opportunities and allowing lawyers to develop truly long-term client relationships.
The firm has invested heavily in its growth over recent years, attracting leading lawyers across a number of practice areas whilst maintaining a refreshingly collegiate culture. Decisions are made quickly, bureaucracy is kept to a minimum and ambitious lawyers are given genuine autonomy to shape their own practice.
Modern West End offices, an exceptional support infrastructure and a partnership committed to strategic growth make this one of the most exciting opportunities currently available in the London private wealth market.
The Opportunity
The firm is looking to appoint a Private Wealth Partner to establish and lead the department.
This role would suit either an established Junior Partner looking for a stronger platform or an ambitious Senior Associate who is ready to take the step into partnership with the support of an exceptional firm behind them.
You'll advise high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, entrepreneurs and business owners on a broad range of matters, including:
Alongside your own practice, you'll play a central role in shaping the department, developing internal referral relationships and helping build what has the potential to become one of the firm's flagship teams.
The Ideal Candidate
You will be an experienced Private Wealth lawyer with strong technical expertise and the ambition to help build a practice.
Whether you're ready for your first partnership appointment or looking for a platform that offers greater autonomy and stronger internal referral opportunities, this role provides an exceptional opportunity to accelerate your career within one of London's most respected firms.
Opportunities to build a department with an existing pipeline of high-quality HNW and UHNW work are exceptionally rare. xwwtmva
