Opportunity: Private Client Solicitor (NQ - 5 Years PQE)

Location: South Gloucestershire / Bristol (Hybrid, Flexible Working or Part-Time)

Salary: Up to £70,000 + Bonus

The Role:

Are you looking for high-quality Private Client work without sacrificing your work-life balance?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly respected specialist law firm with an outstanding reputation across the legal market. Renowned for its technical expertise, collaborative culture and exceptional client service, the firm has built a niche practice advising landowners, farming families, business owners, trustees and high-net-worth individuals on complex private client matters.

Founded by lawyers from leading commercial firms, the practice was established with a clear vision: to combine the quality and sophistication of top-tier legal work with a more supportive, flexible and people-focused environment. The result is a firm that is widely regarded as one of the leading specialists in its field.

What You Will Be Doing:

You'll work alongside some of the most experienced private client lawyers in the region, advising on a broad range of high-quality matters including:

• Wills and estate planning
• Probate and estate administration
• Trust creation and administration
• Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Court of Protection matters
• Inheritance Tax and succession planning
• Wealth preservation and asset protection
• Complex estates involving land, business and agricultural assets
• Advice to high-net-worth individuals, trustees and family business owners

The work is varied, intellectually stimulating and often significantly more complex than that found in a traditional regional private client practice.

This is a role where you'll be trusted with responsibility, encouraged to develop your technical expertise and supported by colleagues who are genuinely invested in your progression.

What We Are Looking For:

• Qualified Solicitor (NQ - 5 years PQE)
• Experience in Private Client matters gained during training or post-qualification
• Strong client care and relationship-building skills
• An interest in developing specialist expertise
• Ambition to build a long-term career within a highly regarded practice
• A collaborative and proactive approach

Whether you're newly qualified or looking to take the next step in your Private Client career, the firm is keen to speak with talented lawyers who are passionate about delivering excellent client service.

What Is in It for You?

• Annual performance-based bonus
• Private healthcare
• Life assurance
• Critical illness cover
• Income protection
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays, increasing with service
• Full office closure between Christmas and New Year
• Exposure to high-quality, complex work
• Direct access to highly experienced specialists
• Genuine work-life balance
• A supportive, collaborative culture
• Excellent long-term career development opportunities

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a firm that has successfully taken the best aspects of a leading commercial practice - quality work, technical excellence and specialist expertise - while creating an environment where people can enjoy their careers and maintain balance outside of work.
