Private Client Partner | Redhill, Surrey | Legal 500 Firm
This is a genuine Partnership opportunity for an experienced Private Client lawyer who wants to build, lead and grow a practice.
A well-established Legal 500 regional firm is looking for an experienced Private Client Partner to join its Redhill office and play a key role in the continued development of the practice.
This isn't a Partnership title without the substance behind it. You'll have the autonomy to develop your own client base, lead high-quality private client work, mentor lawyers around you and have a genuine influence on the direction and growth of the team.
If you've built a strong reputation in Private Client, have established client relationships and are commercially minded, this is an opportunity to join a firm that will give you the platform and support to build something of your own.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on Partner role with genuine scope to shape the practice:
- Develop your own client base and build on your existing relationships and network
- Lead on complex Private Client matters including wills, probate, estate administration and trusts for HNW individuals and families
- Grow the team by mentoring and developing junior lawyers
- Drive business development and raise the profile of the Private Client practice across the Surrey market
- Influence strategy and contribute to the wider direction of the Redhill office
- Work collaboratively with other Partners across the firm to identify opportunities and develop clients
- Build a long-term practice with the backing, infrastructure and resources of an established regional firm
