Private Client Lawyer / Solicitor / Fee Earner

Opportunity: Private Client Lawyer (Solicitor / CILEX / Fee Earner)

Location: Cirencester (Hybrid and Flexible Working)

Salary: Up to 75,000 + Bonus (Flexible on Package)

If you're a Private Client lawyer who enjoys proper client relationships, high-quality work and a clear future, this is the kind of role people don't tend to leave.

You'll be joining a long-established, highly regarded Cotswolds firm with deep roots in the local community and a genuinely loyal client base spanning generations.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a team handling high-net-worth individuals, landed estates and agricultural clients, with a clear and realistic pathway to partnership for the right person.

The Role:

You'll take on a varied and quality caseload with a strong focus on:

• Trust creation, management and administration
• Estate and tax planning
• Wills and probate work
• Advising high-net-worth individuals, families and rural clients

The firm prides itself on long-term relationships, so this role is as much about trusted advisor work as it is technical delivery. You'll have the autonomy to run your own matters while being supported by an experienced and collaborative team.

What We Are Looking For:

• Qualified Solicitor, CILEX or experienced Fee Earner
• Solid background in Private Client work (ideally 3+ years)
• Strong technical knowledge across trusts, tax and estates
• Someone who enjoys building lasting client relationships
• Commercial awareness and an interest in developing your practice

What Is in It For You?

This is where the role really stands out:

• Clear pathway to partnership (no glass ceiling)
• High-quality HNW and agricultural client base
• Bonus scheme (summer & winter incentives)
• Free parking
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Private healthcare, pension & life cover
• Generous holiday + additional perks and wellbeing support

Beyond the benefits, this is a firm where you'll actually feel part of something - working closely with clients across generations and becoming a trusted name in the local market.

Why Consider This Move?

If you're currently feeling like just another fee earner in a volume-driven environment, this is a chance to step into a role where:

• Quality genuinely comes before quantity
• You'll work closely with clients, not just files
• Your progression is clear, achievable and supported
