Private Client Solicitor - #2095051

Private Client Solicitor – Central London (3+ PQE, Flex for Strong Candidates)

Above-market salary + bonus | Fast-track progression | Modern, expanding firm

I’m recruiting on behalf of a young, modern, and rapidly growing law firm that is strengthening its Private Client offering in London. Established just 10 years ago and now opening its 6th office, the firm has built a strong reputation for high-quality work, ambitious growth, and exceptional career development.

They are now seeking a Private Client Solicitor (3+ PQE) to join their London office, where you’ll step into an existing, well-structured caseload from day one - while also being fully supported to grow your own profile and following.

The Opportunity

This is an ideal role for a solicitor who wants both stability and opportunity: a solid pipeline of work already in place, combined with the freedom to shape the department’s future in London.

You’ll manage a varied and high-quality caseload including:

• Wills and estate planning
• Probate and estate administration
• Trusts
• Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Court of Protection matters
• Tax and succession planning

Once settled, you’ll also have the platform to build your own network and client base - something the firm actively encourages and invests in.

A Firm That Backs Ambition

One of the standout features of this practice is its commitment to developing ambitious lawyers. They have a strong track record of fast-tracking careers, with multiple solicitors progressing into senior, leadership, and partner-track roles far quicker than the market norm.

You’ll benefit from:

• A dedicated marketing team
• Full support from the Managing Partner
• Events, campaigns, and BD initiatives signed off quickly
• Budget for networking, client lunches, and relationship-building
• Encouragement to build your own following and personal brand

This is a firm where entrepreneurial lawyers thrive and where your ideas will be welcomed, not slowed down by layers of hierarchy.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing an existing private client caseload with confidence and autonomy
• Delivering exceptional client care to both new and longstanding clients
• Engaging in BD and networking (with full firm backing)
• Contributing to the growth and long-term strategy of the London team
• Working collaboratively across the wider practice

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years’ PQE in private client work (flexible for strong candidates with a proven track record)
• Solid technical grounding across wills, probate, trusts, LPAs, and estate planning
• Confidence working independently while contributing to a supportive team
• A proactive, commercially minded approach
• Enthusiasm for BD, networking, and building a personal profile
• Ambition to progress into senior, leadership, or partner-track roles

What’s on Offer

• Above-market salary (DOE)
• Discretionary bonus
• High level of autonomy and trust
• Clear, fast-track progression routes - including senior and partner-level opportunities
• Full BD and marketing support to grow your own following
• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Central London office in the heart of the legal district
• A culture that champions growth, collaboration, and long-term development

Benefits

• Competitive salary + bonus
• Company pension
• Extra day of holiday for your birthday
• Training and tuition support (subject to discretion)
• NHS private top-up insurance
• Access to interest-free loans
• Regular social events
