Job Description:

Wills & Probate Solicitor / Experienced Fee Earner / Senior Paralegal

A long-established and highly respected law firm with a loyal client base built predominantly through word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat business is looking to recruit either a Wills & Probate Solicitor, experienced Fee Earner, or Senior Paralegal with fee earning experience in Private Client matters to join its friendly and supportive team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who values client care, autonomy, and building long-term client relationships within a traditional firm that continues to move forward and evolve.

The Role

You will handle a varied caseload of Private Client matters including:

  • Will drafting
  • Probate and Estate Administration
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney
  • Inheritance Tax Planning
  • Advising clients on exemptions and reliefs available
  • Supporting families through the probate process with empathy and professionalism

The Private Client team operates very differently from many larger or heavily process-driven firms. A highly personalised approach is taken to client work, tailoring communication, updates, and case progression to the individual client rather than relying on rigid automated workflows or step-based systems.

This level of care and attention is what truly sets the firm apart.

About You

Applications are welcomed from:

  • Qualified Solicitors
  • Chartered Legal Executives
  • Experienced Fee Earners
  • Senior Paralegals with strong Wills & Probate fee earning experience

The ideal candidate will:

  • Have experience managing Private Client matters
  • Be personable and empathetic with excellent client care skills
  • Enjoy building lasting client relationships
  • Be organised and able to manage their own caseload
  • Appreciate working within a close-knit and supportive team environment

Why Join Us?

Whilst the firm may not have every piece of the latest technology, what it does offer is something increasingly rare:

  • A genuinely friendly and supportive team
  • Excellent quality client care
  • A respected local reputation
  • A loyal client base built on referrals and recommendations
  • A traditional yet progressive firm culture
  • The opportunity to make a real difference to clients during important moments in their lives

Clients are never treated as just another file number — and neither are the staff.
