THE ROLE:

You will handle a varied caseload of contentious probate matters including disputes concerning the validity and interpretation of wills, inheritance claims, disputes involving executors and trustees and wider trust and estate disputes.
Working alongside experienced specialists, you will have the opportunity to take responsibility for your own matters, develop strong client relationships and work on complex cases with often significant personal implications for those involved.
You will also benefit from working closely with colleagues across litigation, tax and trusts, and private client, giving you access to wider expertise and support when dealing with complex matters. This is an excellent opportunity to develop your specialism within a supportive team handling high quality work.

THE CANDIDATE:
The successful candidate will be a qualified Solicitor with experience in contentious probate or related contentious private client work.
You will have strong technical and analytical skills, excellent drafting abilities and sound judgement. Given the sensitive nature of these disputes, you will also need a thoughtful and empathetic approach to client care, with the ability to provide clear advice and understand each client's individual circumstances.
You will be proactive, organised and keen to develop your expertise, while working collaboratively with colleagues and building lasting client relationships.

THE FIRM:
This opportunity is with a well established law firm with a long history of advising clients across a broad range of legal matters. The firm combines specialist expertise with the resources of a full service practice, supporting clients regionally, nationally and internationally.
You will join an experienced team that values a personal approach to client service, collaboration and the continued development of its Lawyers.
