Private Client Solicitor / CILEX - Southampton
-
Is progression within a team with a strong reputation important?
-
Do you have strong management and business development skills?
-
Are you used to working with High Net worth Clientele?
Our client is one of Southampton leading legal practices. Their Private Client and wealth protection team has an excellent reputation and it is this team they are looking to develop.
The Legal 500, a directory of the largest firms of UK Solicitors, commented in its 2014 edition that members of the firm's team are recognised experts in trust and tax law.
In the 2014 Chambers guide to the UK profession, the tax and estate planning team is recommended for its no-nonsense yet sensitive client handling skills.
The Role
The successful candidate will have at least 5 years recent relevant experience handling a full caseload of Tax and Trusts work. It would be preferred if some of this experience included offshore work as would STEP membership.
The prospects for the right candidate are excellent, and due to succession issues and a growing team an ambitious lawyer with management experience could well progress quickly.
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will be a private Client solicitor or legal executive with a minimum of five to six years recent relevant experience gained within a reputable private client team. Candidates must be technically excellent but equally important, commercially aware. They will be a team player with a client focussed approach and able to demonstrate a willingness to be involved in the local business community and business development activities. Candidates will also have a strong academic background and excellent communication and organisational skills. This is an opportunity for the right candidate to progress their career and enjoy a fresh challenge within this friendly and progressive private client team.
The Proposition
You may be an ambitious Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive with one or two individuals preventing the next step in your progression or you may be seeking an opportunity to move to one of the top law firms in Hampshire. You may be looking to move out of either working in London or commuting to London. This vacancy has exciting career prospects.
This is a significant position for a Private Client Solicitor to be part of a leading team, based in Southern England.
