Jobs in Upper Eashing

Your new firm
Our client is a highly regarded regional law firm with a strong reputation for advising individuals, families and business owners on a broad range of private wealth matters. Recognised in leading legal directories, the firm is known for its collaborative culture, investment in its people and commitment to delivering high-quality legal services. With continued growth across its private client offering, the firm provides an environment where expertise, innovation and professional development are actively encouraged.

Your new role
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Private Client solicitor to move into, or continue within, a Professional Support Lawyer (PSL) position within a well-established Private Wealth team. Working closely with lawyers across the department, you will play a key role in maintaining technical excellence, supporting knowledge management initiatives and driving consistency across the team's legal work. Your responsibilities will include drafting and maintaining precedents, templates and guidance notes, providing technical support on complex private client matters, monitoring legal and regulatory developments, and delivering training programmes for colleagues across the team. You will also contribute to thought leadership, client seminars and business development initiatives, while supporting the firm's wider innovation and knowledge-sharing strategies. The role offers exposure to a broad range of private client work, including wills, trusts, estate planning, probate and inheritance matters, while providing the opportunity to focus on technical leadership and best practice rather than fee-earning targets.

What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified solicitor with approximately 6+ years' PQE in Private Client law, although candidates with differing levels of experience are encouraged to apply. Applications are welcomed from existing Professional Support Lawyers as well as experienced fee earners looking to transition into a knowledge-focused position. You should possess strong technical expertise across wills, trusts, estate administration and inheritance planning, together with excellent drafting, research and communication skills. Experience of contentious probate, trust administration or Court of Protection matters would be advantageous but is not essential. The successful candidate will be highly organised, commercially aware and enjoy working collaboratively to support the development of others.

What you'll get in return
In return, you will join a progressive and supportive firm that places significant emphasis on professional development, wellbeing and flexible working. The firm offers a competitive salary and benefits package, hybrid working arrangements, performance-related incentives and the opportunity to play a strategic role within a respected Private Client team. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer seeking a technically focused position with genuine long-term career prospects and a strong work-life balance.

What you need to do now
If you are interested in this opportunity or would like to discuss it in more detail, please get in touch for a confidential conversation. If this role is not quite right for you but you are considering a move within Private Client, Trusts, Wealth Management or Professional Support Law, I would be delighted to discuss other opportunities currently available. We would expect a lawyer with the stated PQE to have developed the appropriate level of experience; however, applications from individuals with more or less experience are equally welcome.
