Experienced Private Client Lawyer

Harrogate

Think Legal are working with a well respected, local Leeds and Harrogate law firm who are looking to add a private client lawyer to their team.

The role will be to work from the firm's Harrogate office and deal with their own caseload of private client matters.

The ideal candidate should have experience of dealing with a full private client caseload dealing with everything from basic wills, to more complex probate and trust matters. It is anticipated that the right lawyer will have at least 2 years' carrying their own caseload. You will have an assistant and secretary to assist you on a day to day basis.

There is a lot of autonomy in this role although you may from time to time assist the Head of Department with complex and high value work.

The firm are happy to look at a lawyer who is looking to work flexibly, perhaps starting or leaving earlier/later to accommodate school pick ups, carer responsibilities etc. There is the possibility of some hybrid work over time although due to the nature of the role there will be a lot of time needed in the office to provide a face to face service to clients.

If you are a lawyer looking for genuine progression then this could be the ideal role for you. The firm really do like to 'grow their own' and the head here started out as a trainee making her way up through the ranks.

The firm are also supportive in terms of career development and happy to discuss supporting people through further training and qualifications such as STEP and Solicitors for the Elderly.

The firm's culture is excellent, with lots of charity events, team events and a genuine appreciation of a life outside of the office.

There is a competitive salary on offer here in line with experience + benefits.
