THE FIRM
A highly-ranked “regional heavyweight”, this substantial law firm is going from strength to strength. Part of this firm’s success lies in its commitment to a collegiate approach which encourages creative, cross-departmental problem-solving.   Input from fee-earners and support staff at all levels is encouraged, and the firm rewards excellent performance with a great range of benefits, including generous holiday allowance, a discretionary bonus scheme, and a very competitive salary structure.  The firm is now looking to recruit an experienced solicitor to head up the increasingly busy private client team which is regularly instructed in high-profile, high-net-worth and complex matters.   The role is based in the “Chalfonts” area of Buckinghamshire and the firm is hoping to recruit a candidate with links to the area.

THE ROLE
You must be a solicitor with a good background in tax and trusts matters, preferably STEP qualified and with the ability to generate and maintain in-depth, productive business relationships.  The firm is not necessarily looking for an experienced manager but would consider someone with great potential who can be mentored into this long term career role.  What is important, however, is an impressive academic background, solid experience within a top UK firm such as a large regional Legal 200 practice, and a proactive, “can-do” approach.  When applying for this private client role, please quote reference KT24389.

THE CANDIDATE
You will:-
Have an excellent academic background with at least a 2:1 in your first degree;
Be at least 5+ years’ PQE;
Be organised, methodical, time- and costs- aware;
Have a dynamic, “can-do” attitude and demonstrable leadership skills;
Possess sound technical skills and a solid grasp of private client work gained within a very reputable firm;
Be a great communicator with clients and colleagues alike.
