Job description

Overview

Are you a Private Client fee earner who enjoys building strong relationships and developing your skills alongside experienced Partners, with opportunities to handle increasingly complex matters over time?

A well-regarded practice in Wiltshire is seeking a Private Client Paralegal, Legal Executive or Solicitor to join its Agriculture and Landed Estates team. You will work closely with experienced Partners to provide support as well as have opportunities for independent case handling.

This role is suited to someone who wants to consolidate their private client experience, become involved in rural and agricultural client work, and grow their technical expertise in a supportive environment.

The Role

You will assist Partners with ongoing caseloads while also managing your own matters. Typical work will include:

• Drafting Wills


• Preparing and registering Lasting Powers of Attorney


• Administering Estates


• Working with clients across the agricultural and rural community where appropriate


• Building good relationships with referrers, local firms and the farming community


• Delivering a consistently high quality service with a strong client focus

There is scope for genuine development, with the opportunity to take on more complex work as your confidence and experience grow.

What You Will Bring

• Previous experience in private client work


• Experience managing your own workload in a busy environment


• Strong organisational skills and a flexible approach to work


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills


• A commitment to high quality work and strong client service


• Ability to travel to clients when required


• Solid ICT skills

Strong academics and experience within private client law are expected. The firm supports ongoing professional development and additional qualifications.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work closely with experienced Partners in a supportive and friendly team


• Genuine scope for long term development and progression


• Exposure to agricultural and rural client work


• Opportunities for additional training and qualifications


• A varied and rewarding workload with high levels of client contact
