- An experienced Private Client Partner, Legal Director, or Senior Associate ready to step up
- Strong technical expertise across Wills, Probate, Trusts, and Estate matters
- Commercial awareness and a steady, relationship-led approach to practice
- Someone seeking a long-term leadership position rather than a short-term move

- Open to Director-level applicants
- Hybrid working arrangement (Nottingham-based)
- Strong long-term stability and progression potential within the wider group structure
