Are you passionate about probate and seeking a role that allows you to truly specialise on the contentious side all of the time? Do you want to work alongside a Legal 500 Leading Individual in a supportive and collaborative environment?
I'm partnering with a highly regarded law firm that boasts a top-tier Will Disputes & Contentious Probate team. They're looking for a talented Solicitor (ideally 2-4 PQE) to join their team and focus exclusively on this fascinating area of law.
What makes this opportunity unique:
1. Pure Contentious Probate Focus: This is a rare chance to specialise entirely in contentious probate litigation. You won't be bogged down with general civil litigation work; your focus will be solely on will disputes, inheritance claims, and estate administration disputes.

3. Varied and Challenging Caseload: You'll gain exposure to the full spectrum of contentious probate matters, including high-value Inheritance Act claims, will validity challenges, executor disputes, and Court of Protection matters.
4. Supportive and Collaborative Team: You'll be joining a friendly and knowledgeable team that values teamwork and encourages professional development.
What you'll be doing:
1. Managing your own caseload of contentious probate matters.
2. Working alongside senior colleagues on complex and high-value cases.
3. Drafting legal documents, including pleadings, witness statements, and court orders.
4. Advising clients on their legal rights and options.
5. Representing clients in court proceedings.
What you'll need:
1. 2-4 years of PQE in civil litigation, with demonstrable experience in contentious probate work.
