🚨 PRIVATE CLIENT LAWYERS – THIS ONE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT… 🚨
Head of Private Client
Doncaster, South Yorkshire
£50,000 – £75,000 DOE
Genuine long-term equity prospects
Are you an experienced Private Client lawyer who has reached the stage where another fee-earning role just isn't enough?
Perhaps you're already a Head of Department but wondering where the progression goes from here?
Or maybe you're a Senior Associate / experienced Solicitor or Legal Executive doing everything expected of someone at that level – but without the title, autonomy or long-term opportunity?
👉 This could be worth a conversation.
CRA Consulting are working confidentially with an established Doncaster law firm looking to make a key senior appointment to its Private Client team.
And importantly, they're not just looking for somebody to inherit a title.
They want someone who can take real ownership of the department and help shape what it becomes over the next few years.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Lead an established Private Client department
- Manage, mentor and develop the team
- Influence recruitment and future growth
- Shape the department's strategy and direction
- Develop client and professional relationships
- Handle quality Private Client work including Wills, Probate, Trusts, LPAs, Tax & Estate Planning
- Work closely with the firm's senior management
- Have a genuine voice in the wider business
- Build towards long-term equity
💡 And here's an important point…
You don't necessarily need to be a Head of Department already.
If you're an experienced Private Client lawyer who feels ready to step up, lead people and build something, I'd still be very interested in speaking with you.
Likewise, a following would be welcomed, but it isn't the whole story.
The firm is equally interested in leadership, technical ability, commercial awareness and ambition.

For me, the attraction is simple:
£50k–£75k is the salary. Head of Department is the title. But the real opportunity is what this role could become. 📈
Senior Private Client positions offering genuine autonomy and a realistic longer-term route towards equity don't appear every day in the South Yorkshire market.
You don't need to be actively looking either.
If you're simply curious about the firm, the team, the expectations or what the equity opportunity could potentially look like, I'm more than happy to have a completely confidential conversation.
