Private Client Solicitor

Hampshire – £50,000 - £60,000

Private Client Solicitor , Hampshire
 
A Career Move Worth Making - Wills, Probate & Trusts Solicitor
 
Hampshire & West Sussex | Petersfield-based | 6+ years PQE
 
Some career opportunities are simply the next step. Others are a chance to join a firm where you can genuinely thrive, be valued and build a long-term career.
 
We are looking for an experienced Wills, Probate and Trusts (WPT) lawyer, ideally with 6+ years' PQE, to join a friendly and growing team, based primarily in Petersfield.
 
This is an opportunity to join a close-knit, forward-thinking team, working alongside excellent Partners and colleagues who genuinely care about their people. Great solicitors do their best work when they are supported, trusted and given the space to develop — and that looking after our staff is every bit as important as looking after their clients.
 
Why make the move?
You will become part of a busy and successful WPT department where you will have your own caseload, excellent administrative support and a strong team around you. You will have the opportunity to work with experienced colleagues, develop your expertise and play an important role in the continued growth of the department.
 
They are proud of our welcoming, supportive and collaborative culture, built around three simple values: Open, Responsible and Fair. These aren't just words on a page — they shape the way we work with our clients, our colleagues and each other.
 
The firm are looking for someone who shares those values and who enjoys being part of a team. You will have excellent drafting, communication and analytical skills, a professional approach to client care, and the ability to manage your own caseload with confidence. You will also be a qualified Trust & Estate Practitioner.
 
They have a rich history, strong values and an ambitious outlook. They want their people to enjoy coming to work, to feel supported by their colleagues and Partners, and to have a career they can be proud of.
 
Although this is primarily an office-based role, they recognise the importance of flexibility and offer hybrid working, including the opportunity to work from home.
 
Benefits include:
  • Competitive salary
  • Generous annual leave
  • Firm-wide bonus scheme
  • Individual performance bonus scheme
  • Private health insurance after one year of service
  • Flexible and remote working opportunities
  • Full administrative support
  • Culture and Charity teams organising regular social, fundraising and community events
You can get involved in as much — or as little — of the wider firm life as you wish.
 
If you are looking for more than simply another WPT role — if you want to join a close-knit team, work with supportive and approachable Partners, be genuinely looked after and become part of a firm with strong values and ambition — this could be the career move you've been waiting for.
 
Come and join a firm where your experience is valued, your contribution matters and your career can flourish.
