Private Client Solicitor | 4+ PQE | Haywards Heath, West Sussex
Picture yourself at a firm where the clients aren't names on a file, they're families you've known for years. Where your work genuinely helps people navigate wills, inheritance, and legacy during some of the most significant moments of their lives. Where you're not just processing transactions; you're building relationships that last decades.
A respected regional law firm with offices across the South East and London has grown steadily while genuinely keeping its people-first approach. They're now looking for a Private Client Solicitor to join their established Haywards Heath team, not because they're replacing someone, but because they're expanding and want to strengthen what already works.
This is the kind of place where people actually stay. Where career progression is real because the firm invests in developing its lawyers. And where your contribution genuinely matters.
The Opportunity
You'll manage a varied, personally meaningful caseload:
- Wills and estate planning for families and business owners
- Probate and estate administration from start to finish
- Trusts and tax planning with genuine complexity and commercial awareness
- Lasting Powers of Attorney preparation and advice
- Work with clients across the firm's deep community roots

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.

If you want private client work that's meaningful, a team that's genuinely supportive, and a career path that's real, not theoretical, this is it.
