Job description
Private Client Senior Associate
A rare opportunity for an experienced Private Client lawyer, most likely at the senior associate type level, to come on board our first rate practice in either Bristol or London.
About Us
We're a Top 100 full-service UK law firm with just over 500 employees. With four offices in London, Bristol, Watford and Birmingham, you'll be struck by our close-knit and friendly culture.
We're just not like other firms! We believe in integrity and authenticity - in each one of us being ourselves both in our interactions with each other as well as with our clients.
We enjoy a reputation not just for the quality of our work but also for the qualities of our people.
We strive to recruit people who are proactive and passionate about what they do and able to demonstrate humour and humility in equal measure.
The Role
In your role, you will enjoy a broad range of private client work and the opportunity to supervise and develop other less experienced lawyers in the team.
With strong experience in a number of areas such as wills, trusts and succession planning, you'll have good knowledge of estate administration work and enjoy driving this forward within the team.
This is an exciting opportunity if you're looking for development as this role offers the chance to be a key influencer in the growth and success of our newly refurbished Bristol office.
We're a team that recognises talent and commitment- no glass ceilings here, just the chance to shine and progress at a pace that works for you.
As an experienced lawyer, you'll not only be strong on the fee earning side, but alive to both cross referrals and external business development opportunities.
Our Reputation
Our exceptional team is headed up by Chambers acclaimed Partner, and enjoys an enviable reputation across the regions. With private client work being undertaken at almost all small to large law firms nationwide, it's a testament to our strength in this field that for personal tax, trusts and probate work, we are ranked tier 2 in the Legal 500 (2024) in the South West region as a whole, and in tier 3 for private wealth law (Bristol and surrounds).
As regards our London team, we're ranked tier 4 for London in the same directory, alongside firms of international renown.
Where Will I Be Working?
Whilst it's your experience and enthusiasm that for us are key, we'd like you to work from our office for three days (or more) of the week.
In this way,
you'll benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture that no advert can do justice! We are of course happy to discuss any specific requirements of hybrid working with candidates on an individual basis.
