An opportunity has arisen for a dedicated Senior Private Client Solicitor to become an integral part of a renowned Sheffield-based legal firm. The role comes as a result of movement within the team, offering a clear pathway to a possible Head of Department or Director position.
In return for your expertise, you will be rewarded with a competitive salary and the flexibility to work from home for two days each week. You will also be presented with the chance to become the leading figure within the Private Client team, engaging in outward-facing business development activities and impacting at a senior level.
This position is pivotal, and you will manage a varied caseload including complex wills, probate matters, high-net-worth estate, and trust administration, in addition to court of protection work. Further, your role will entail close collaboration with the Private Client Operations Director to drive business development and contribute to the firm's overarching objectives.
To excel in this role, you must possess at least 10 years’ PQE or equivalent experience in a private client environment. You are expected to have outstanding all-round knowledge of wills and probate work, particularly with high net worth estates and trusts. With your proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and case management systems, you demonstrate exceptional communication, drafting, and organisational skills. Your attention to detail is impeccable, and you harbour a proven record of successful business development initiatives.
Our client maintains a steadfast commitment to quality that has solidified their reputation over the past two centuries. As a multi-accredited firm with a sterling reputation and a team that prizes exceptional legal service, they are dedicated to fostering a culture of development and strong professional relationships.
