This leading regional practice boasts an outstanding private client department whose reputation has been built up over decades of practising in the local area. The flow of work demands the appointment of a senior lawyer to their Estates and Trusts department. The successful candidate will undertake a varied and interesting caseload including tax and estate planning, trusts and incapacity issues. STEP membership is an advantage but not a prerequisite. As this is a senior level appointment a clear track to the firm's highly profitable partnership awaits the successful candidate. A following is not a prerequisite. The role may be the perfect fit for a senior associate who has hit a glass ceiling in their current position and who just needs the opportunity to show that they are capable of moving to the next level. Equally it may suit someone looking to move out of the City for quality of life reasons… the firm is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the country and whilst the quality of work is second to none the partnership also has a keen awareness of the need for a work life balance.
