Private Client Solicitor
Location: West London
Salary: £60,000–£80,000, depending on experience
Working pattern: Full-time, office-based initially, with hybrid working available after six months
We are working with a friendly and well-established West London law firm that is seeking a Senior Private Client Solicitor as part of a carefully planned succession strategy.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced lawyer to take over an established private client practice from a Partner who intends to retire within the next 12 months. You will work closely with the Partner during a structured handover period, giving you the opportunity to build strong relationships with existing clients and become an important part of the firm’s future.
The position is initially offered on a salaried basis, with a genuine opportunity to progress to Partnership.
