A growing, specialist private client firm with a strong reputation in Court of Protection and complex wealth-related matters.

The culture is collaborative and supportive, with a real emphasis on development, giving individuals early responsibility and exposure to meaningful client work. You’ll be joining a firm where the work is not only intellectually engaging, but also has a tangible impact on clients’ lives, particularly those requiring ongoing support and care.

- Working closely with wider private client teams where matters overlap
