Job Description

Private Client Solicitor

A genuinely well thought out hire in a firm that values people, not just billings

Reed Legal is working closely with a highly regarded and steadily growing law firm that is looking to appoint a Private Client Solicitor with strong probate experience. This is not a rushed replacement hire. It is a considered addition to a close knit team, created to support long term succession planning and continued growth.

If you enjoy high quality private client work, value strong client relationships, and want to be part of a team that has consciously chosen to build its culture around collaboration and presence rather than remote working, this role deserves your attention.

Why this role stands out

This firm has grown significantly in recent years and continues to invest heavily in its people and infrastructure. Recruitment decisions are made carefully, with equal weight given to technical ability and team fit. The partners are selective, supportive, and clear on the type of environment they want to maintain.

There is a clear opportunity here for someone who wants stability, progression, and the chance to become a long term, trusted member of a private client team.

The role

You will manage a varied private client caseload with a strong emphasis on probate and estate administration. The work is interesting, client focused, and well supported, with plenty of opportunity to develop both technically and professionally.

The firm is open on level of experience and would welcome applications from solicitors from around 2 years PQE upwards, including more senior candidates who are looking for a long term role as part of succession planning within the team.

What they are looking for

  • A qualified solicitor with private client experience, particularly in probate
  • Someone who enjoys client facing work and building lasting relationships
  • A solicitor who values being office based and working closely with colleagues
  • A professional, approachable, and collaborative team player

Working pattern and culture

The team works predominantly from the office by choice, with flexibility for one day a week working from home. This is a firm that values presence, shared learning, and day to day collaboration. It suits people who enjoy being part of something rather than working in isolation.

What is on offer

  • High quality private client work with a loyal client base
  • A supportive, stable, and growing firm
  • Thoughtful leadership and a strong team culture
  • Long term prospects and genuine career development
