Private Client Solicitor

Location: Leamington Spa | Full-time | Office-based

I am currently working with a well-established and highly regarded law firm with a strong presence in Private Client law, who are looking to appoint an ambitious Private Client Solicitor to join their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity to join a firm known for its client-focused approach, high-quality work, and genuine investment in the development and progression of its people. You will play a key role in advising clients on a range of private client matters, including wealth management and estate planning, while also contributing to the continued growth of the department.

This role would particularly suit someone who was hoping to step up this year and take on more responsibility - perhaps you’ve just missed out on a promotion, or you’re ready to be given more autonomy and recognition for your work. There is real scope here to take ownership, build your profile, and play a visible role in the team’s success.

Manage your own caseload of private client matters in a timely and cost-effective manner while providing high-quality advice on wills, probate, estate planning and related matters. Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and referrers, and play a key role in business development — this includes networking, leveraging local connections, and actively contributing to the growth of the department. You will be encouraged to develop your own client base, take ownership of relationships, and be commercially involved in shaping the team’s success. You will also take financial responsibility for your matters, including billing and cash flow management, identify fee-earning opportunities, and support and mentor junior team members such as assistants and paralegals. Handle client enquiries across face-to-face, telephone and remote channels, ensure files are maintained accurately using case management systems, and stay up to date with legal developments within private client law.

Qualified Solicitor with proven experience in Private Client law and strong technical knowledge across wills, probate and estate planning. Commercially aware with a genuine interest in business development and building client relationships, with the confidence to get involved in networking and growing a client base. Highly organised with strong attention to detail, confident working independently and as part of a team, and ideally with experience supporting or mentoring junior staff.

Competitive salary and benefits package, option to buy or sell up to 3 days’ annual leave, additional leave over the Christmas period, your birthday off plus a birthday gift voucher, professional subscriptions paid, health cash plan, incentive schemes and referral bonuses, discounted legal fees, and regular team and office events.

If you’re a Private Client Solicitor looking for a step up in responsibility and the opportunity to play a more visible, commercially involved role within a supportive and growing team, I’d be happy to share further details.
