About the roleAre you a Private Client Solicitor with 3+ years’ PQE looking for a fresh challenge? This is a great chance to join a thriving, long-established firm in Ringwood where you’ll enjoy a busy caseload, excellent support, and a clear path to progression – without the pressure of heavy business development.

This role has come about through the firm’s organic growth and continued success. Private Client work is a cornerstone of the practice, and most instructions come from reputation, repeat clients, and referrals. You’ll be able to focus on high-quality legal work rather than chasing new business.

Responsibilities

Handle a varied caseload including Wills, LPAs, Probate, Estate Administration and Trusts.

Work often involves complex estates with inheritance tax considerations, cross-border issues, and protecting family assets for future generations.

Be supported by experienced paralegals and assistants, allowing you to focus on building strong relationships and delivering an excellent client experience.

Contribute to a collaborative culture where autonomy and trust are key, with support available as needed.

What you’ll get

Environment with a genuine opportunity to progress; all four current partners have made partnership since joining, with a clear and non-competitive path for those who want to take that step.

Competitive package with a strong bonus structure for going above target (typically just over 3x salary).

Flexibility around hybrid and remote working and a culture that values work-life balance.

A busy, profitable, and forward-looking firm that offers real security and long-term opportunity.

Qualifications

3+ years’ PQE in private client work.

Demonstrated experience across Wills, LPAs, Probate, Estate Administration and Trusts.

Ability to work with minimal supervision while delivering high-quality client service.
