Private Client Solicitor
2+ PQE | Liverpool & Merseyside
I'm working with an established law firm looking to recruit a Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive to join its busy and growing Private Client team.
This is a varied opportunity for someone with a strong background in Private Client work, particularly Court of Protection matters, who is looking to develop their career within a supportive and ambitious team.
The successful candidate will work across the firm's offices, handling a varied caseload and advising clients on a range of private client matters, including complex cases involving vulnerable individuals.
The Role
You'll be responsible for managing your own caseload and providing advice across a broad range of Private Client matters.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing a varied Private Client caseload.
- Advising on wills, probate, trusts and estate administration.
- Handling Court of Protection matters, including work involving vulnerable clients and complex cases.
- Advising HNW clients on estate and tax planning.
- Dealing with client enquiries and providing regular updates on case progression.
- Liaising with the Probate Registry, courts, HM Land Registry, HMRC and other relevant agencies.
- Meeting clients both in person and remotely.
- Building relationships with existing clients and professional contacts.
- Supporting business development and generating new work for the team.
- Contributing to marketing initiatives, including producing blog content.
About You
The firm is looking for a Solicitor or Legal Executive with at least 2 years' PQE and a solid background in Private Client work.
Ideally, you'll have:

- Experience dealing with services for the elderly and vulnerable clients.
- Court of Protection experience, ideally involving more complex matters.
- Experience using case management systems and Laserforms.
- Good working knowledge of Excel spreadsheets.
- Excellent organisation, communication and time-management skills.
- A proactive approach with the ability to manage a busy workload independently.
Property experience would be advantageous, as would having a full driving licence and access to a vehicle, given the multi-office nature of the role.
What's on Offer?
- Competitive salary reflective of experience.
- Opportunity to work across an established multi-office team.
- Varied and interesting caseload.
- Supportive and collaborative working environment.
- Scope to develop your career and take on further responsibility.
The Opportunity
This would suit a Private Client Solicitor or Legal Executive who enjoys a varied caseload and wants to develop their experience within an established team.
Court of Protection experience is particularly important, so this could be an interesting move for someone with a background in complex matters and supporting vulnerable clients.
