A leading national firm is seeking a solicitor to join its Contentious Probate team within the wider Disputes practice. Based in Cardiff, this role is open at 0–4+PQE and offers the chance to work within a highly respected, nationally recognised team known for delivering high‑quality work and excellent outcomes for clients. You will be part of a busy and growing practice advising on a range of will, trust and estate‑related disputes, including Inheritance Act claims, breach of trust matters and challenges to will validity.
You will manage your own varied caseload with appropriate supervision, advising clients, progressing matters efficiently and contributing to complex and high‑value work, including HNW disputes. The role provides strong exposure to diverse, interesting matters and the opportunity to learn from experienced and well‑regarded practitioners. You will also play an active role in team knowledge sharing and be encouraged to participate in business development as the team continues to grow.
The firm is seeking a qualified solicitor or legal executive with experience in contentious probate (including where this was gained during a training contract). Strong drafting skills, technical ability, sound client‑handling skills and the ability to work collaboratively are essential, alongside commercial awareness and excellent attention to detail. This is an excellent opportunity for someone proactive, ambitious and organised who wants to develop specialist expertise within a supportive team offering clear progression and meaningful long‑term development.
