PRIVATE CLIENT 5+ LEEDS

Experienced Private Client lawyer wanted by one of the largest and most successful departments outside London, which has a leading reputation for the work it does for complex, high value estates, many of which are long standing clients of the firm.

This firm is a very well respected brand, and an enigma in the market in many ways given it's unique culture and yet diverse range of service lines, at it's very core being an absolute commitment to acting for private clients. If you don't want to be in 'a commercial firm' but want to work with some of the best technical experts in their fields then this brand should really stand out to you.

The role will be focused on high value and technical private client work revolving around capital tax planning, the use of trusts, asset protection and succession issues generally. Suitable candidates will have dealt with all aspects of estate administration, including complex estates of high value, estates which include agricultural and/or business property, taxable estates, and intestacies. You will be used to high levels of client contact and will enjoy building relationships as these are very much the focus of what this firm is all about.

The STEP qualification is desirable but not essential, though the firm would like you to obtain this if you haven't already.

Lawyers from Tier 1 brands with strong reputations for HNW work will be an obvious fit here. That said, there are plenty of capable Private Client specialists in regional law firms who will be considered on the merits of their experience, and this firm prides itself on being objective, and in being a truly supportive and inclusive employer. If you've got a good chunk of experience then I'd encourage you to apply rather than making any assumptions from a fear of a lack of interest.

Northern based, the firm supports hybrid and flexible working. and so those living further away will also be considered as you might be able to be networked in with a reduced expectation of attendance at the offices.




Brooke Thornham Consulting advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience. We aim to respond to enquiries as soon as possible but if we have not contacted you within 5 days then unfortunately on this occasion your application has not quite met the requirements of our client closely enough.
