Job description

Burley Geach Solicitors LLP | Private Client Solicitor (Full or Part-Time)

7th January 2026

Burley Geach Solicitors LLP

About Us

Burley Geach Solicitors LLP is a leading provider of legal services with offices in Hampshire and Surrey, with an excellent reputation for delivering legal advice tailored to the individual needs of our clients. As a firm, we are proud of the fact that we provide a supportive and friendly workplace with an excellent record for staff retention.

Our Private Client department is now seeking to appoint a Solicitor on a full or part-time basis. The position requires someone who works well independently but will contribute to and learn from being part of a team.

About the Role

The successful applicant should ideally have 3+ years’ PQE and be able to deliver a full range of private client services to the firm’s clients including will drafting, probate and estate administration, inheritance tax planning and trusts, lasting powers of attorney and Court of Protection work. Experience of contentious probate is desirable but not essential and STEP membership and/or Association of Lifetime Lawyers would be an advantage but is not essential.

On offer is a competitive package with salary dependent upon experience, a varied and interesting caseload and the autonomy to grow and develop that caseload. Where this involves more complex matters, further training together with full support and guidance from the Private Client team will be provided.
