PRIVATE CLIENT SOLICITOR (SENIOR ASSOCIATE) – MANCHESTER
Private Client Solicitor (Senior Associate) – The expanding private client team of this highly regarded firm is looking to make a strategic hire in their Manchester office to strengthen their national offering. The practice group is looking to hire an experienced Private Client Solicitor, preferably at Senior Associate level, who can bolster the department and potentially bring some managerial qualities to the team.
THE ROLE AT A GLANCE
- Job title: Private Client Solicitor (Senior Associate)
- Location: Manchester
- Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 (DoE)
- Reports to: Partner – Head of Private Client
- Previous Experience: Ideally around 5 -7 PQE in Private Client from a respectable, recognised firm. Managerial or supervisory experience would be useful but is not absolutely crucial.
TEAM AND THE ROLE
The Private Client team sits within the overall commercial group of the firm. Whilst it benefits from its own client base, it also works with the commercial and corporate teams to provide a holistic service for the high-worth-individuals, (especially of owner managed businesses) of the firm.
The department advises on the full gamut of private client matters, whilst also advising on complex, high value trusts and estate planning and management as well as progression planning.
CANDIDATE ATTRIBUTES
The team is looking for an experienced private client lawyer with roughly 5-7 PQE, who has already cut their teeth and is able to hit the ground running. It could be you are looking for a step up to a larger firm or perhaps you are looking for a Private Client team with a more ‘commercial’, dynamic approach to its work with a national network.
Technical ability is obviously crucial, with the ability to build lasting relationships and business develop where appropriate. The ability to manage and mentor the more junior members of the team would also be highly useful, though previous managerial experience is not crucial.
CAREER PROGRESSION
Though this is a Senior Associate role, the team is still interested in hearing from applicants looking for career progression and a possible route through to Partnership. They are looking for talented, ambitious Private Client Solicitors who can really bring something to the team.
