NQ - 2PQE Solicitor – Trusts & Estates
Exeter
The Role
A rare opportunity for an NQ–2 PQE Private Client solicitor to join a highly regarded Trusts & Estates team within a leading Top 100 UK law firm with a strong South West presence.
The team advises HNW individuals, families, entrepreneurs, business owners and trustees on sophisticated private wealth matters, including:
- Wills and succession planning
- Trusts and estate administration
- Tax and wealth planning
- Wealth preservation and succession structures
- Family and business succession
You’ll work alongside experienced lawyers on high-quality, complex matters, with early client contact and genuine responsibility from the outset. The wider practice has a strong national network, giving you access to excellent technical expertise and a broad client base.
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.
Opportunities offering this level of work and client exposure at NQ level are genuinely hard to come by.
