Experienced Private Client Fee Earner | 2|4 PQE Solicitor

Job Description
• Hybrid working model – 3 days from home each week.
• Potential for rapid promotion within an esteemed firm.
• Competitive salary up to £60,000, with additional benefits.

Our client, a prestigious national law firm renowned for their 'Expert Hand, Human Touch' approach, is seeking a dedicated Private Client Lawyer to strengthen their top-tier Legal 500 ranked team in Sheffield. This role is an outstanding opportunity for a professional looking to advance their career within a supportive and highly successful firm.

In return, this position comes with a market-leading salary, with newly qualified solicitors earning £47k and the potential for upward adjustments based on experience and qualifications. Coupled with the flexibility to work predominantly from home, this is an excellent chance to achieve work-life balance while working on prestigious cases and high-value trusts.

As a Private Client Lawyer within this firm, you can expect to handle a diverse and intricate caseload tailored to a high net worth clientele, focusing primarily on trust law, governance, and taxation. You’ll be integral in the re-structuring of trusts and wills, offering a rewarding experience that contributes significantly to both the company’s success and your personal growth. This pivotal role promises a vibrant work environment where your contributions are both recognised and valued.

You’ll ideally have 2-3 years PQE and display a robust understanding of the complexities involved in will writing and estate planning for high net worth clients. While a STEP qualification is desirable, our client is open-minded and values pre-qualified experience where relevant skills have been demonstrated. Your proactive approach to personal development will see you thrive in a culture where progression is driven by your commitment and performance.

In return, aside from a competitive salary reflective of your expertise, you'll appreciate the firm's array of benefits which include flexible working arrangements, generous annual leave with buyable extra hours, a parking permit from Associate level, a supportive pension scheme, and even fully paid volunteering days to support a cause close to your heart.

Our client is an award-winning firm, lauded not only for their legal expertise but for their exceptional culture that champions inclusivity, support, and boundary-pushing. They are invested in creating genuine impact, both for their clients and within the communities they serve, making it a truly gratifying place to work.

If you’re eager to take on a challenging yet richly rewarding role with an excellent work-life balance and substantial room for professional development, this opportunity is tailor-made for you.
