Private Client Senior Associate | 5 Years PQE | International Firm | Birmingham
A rare chance to be a senior figure in a small, bespoke Private Client team while standing on the platform of a large international firm.
The Firm
This is a large international firm with a substantial UK presence and an established Birmingham office. Private Client sits within that wider platform, giving access to corporate, real estate and tax colleagues when matters demand it. Private Client here is a specialist, boutique style practice operating inside a firm of significant scale, meaning you get the autonomy and visibility of a small team alongside the clients and resources of a large one, with your contribution clearly visible to those who decide on promotions.
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.
The firm's international network brings a dimension that most regional private client practices cannot match, with cross border estates, internationally mobile families and wealth structuring with a European element sitting alongside a strong domestic caseload.
The Role
You will advise high net worth and ultra high net worth individuals, families and business owners on estate planning, succession and wealth preservation, taking strategic ownership of your matters from the outset.
Much of the work is collaborative, coordinating with accountants, tax advisers, trustees and HMRC to deliver joined up advice, with real scope to develop your own client relationships and profile in the Birmingham market. Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers forms part of the role.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The caseload spans the full breadth of private wealth work including will drafting where trusts and business assets are in play, long term succession and wealth preservation strategy, estate administration from straightforward through to complex matters, inheritance tax and capital gains planning, trust creation and restructuring, family investment companies, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection work and matters carrying a cross border dimension.
