• Leading the Private Client function

• Partnership, once established within the firm and client base

Package

• Salary: £50,000 – £60,000, depending on experience

• Full-time preferred; 4 days per week considered

• Standard benefits package

• Parking available at office locations (subject to availability)

About You

• Qualified Private Client Lawyer (Solicitor or CILEX)

• Confident managing a varied private client caseload independently

• Comfortable working in a traditional, client-facing high-street environment
