Job Overview If you're looking to work with a friendly firm that genuinely puts clients first, this could be a great opportunity.

Requirements & Experience You'll ideally have at least three years' experience in private client law and be someone who enjoys building strong relationships with clients, handling matters with care, empathy and professionalism. Team & Working Environment You'll be joining a small, supportive team, working alongside three other Solicitors, with excellent admin and secretarial support.
