Private Client | Wimbledon

Morr & Co LLP is an established but modern top 200 law firm with plans for growth.

We pride ourselves on providing high quality and creative thinking, as well as generating enduring relationships. The firm’s culture of listening to and supporting others applies as much to the approach we take with our clients as it does to the connections we build with our colleagues.

We have a long history and big ambitions, and we believe that we combine the quality, capability, and resources of a large firm with the approachability of a smaller practice.

As a firm, we are also committed to harnessing technology in order to continually improve the quality, efficiency and delivery of our services.

Working within our successful Private Client team, this is a role that will see the successful candidate supporting Lawyers and Paralegals with all administration tasks.

Experienced Senior Solicitor/Partner – Private Client (8 year + PQE) Wimbledon

We are looking for an experienced and ambitious Solicitor with a minimum of 8 years PQE. The focus of this role will be to grow the Wimbledon team, using their business development skills to grow our offering in Wimbledon and surrounding areas. You will work closely with other departments and cross-refer work where possible.

You will join the team with the opportunity to advise and support clients on all matters including preparation of Wills, estate administration, cross-border estate administration, trusts and lasting powers of attorney. It would be advantageous if you have experience dealing with high value estate administration work.

With a pool of admin and paralegal support, you will be committed, enthusiastic and results driven with a desire to develop your career and the department.

• A STEP qualification is not a necessity but will be an advantage.
• High level of commercial awareness with strong attention to detail and good drafting skills
• Conscientious, hardworking, with developed critical thinking abilities and excellent communication, organisation and analytical skills
• Ability to work as part of a team including supporting more junior and senior staff members
• Ability to work to strict deadlines, targets and client protocols while maintaining high standards in terms of accuracy and quality.
• The willingness to actively partake in Networking and Business Development opportunities.

We offer very competitive salaries and generous benefits.

You will also benefit from our career development programme. We are award winning in relation to the investment we make in our people, and we will provide you with clear expectations of your role, including a route-map for your progression, assessment, and individual feedback. You will be provided with access to technical training tailored to you and will be rewarded based on what you contribute, not your tenure.

Morr & Co LLP are committed to promoting equal opportunities for all candidates irrespective of age, sex, ethnicity, gender identity or disability. We value difference and want everyone who works with us to feel that our firm is a place where our colleagues can be themselves and belong.

The firm is committed to providing an environment in which the rights and dignity of all its employees are respected, and which is free from discrimination, prejudice, intimidation and all forms of harassment including bullying.

If, as a result of a disability, you believe that there are aspects of the recruitment process or when working with us that you would find more difficult, please contact a member of HR Team as soon as possible. We will then be able to discuss with you any reasonable adjustments that could be made to the recruitment process or the job itself.
