Contentious Private Client Solicitor
London
Legal 500 firm


I’m working with a highly respected, forward-thinking law firm that is looking to add an experienced Solicitor (5+ PQE) to its established Contentious Trust & Probate team.

The practice has continued to grow year after year, and this new hire will support the Head of Contentious Private Client on a broad caseload of high-quality disputes. The work will include:
  • Contentious trust and probate matters
  • Will disputes
  • Executor and trustee removal claims
  • Claims under the Inheritance Act
  • Opportunities to assist on contentious Court of Protection matters
The ideal candidate will have solid experience in contentious probate and a genuine desire to specialise in this area long-term. STEP or ACTAPS accreditation is beneficial but not essential.
Strong communication skills, a client-focused approach, and the ability to build trusted relationships are key.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a top-tier department recognised in leading legal directories and known for its supportive culture, strong progression pathways, and highly competitive remuneration.
