  • £55k - 75k per year

Looking for a Private Client role where you can work on quality matters, build your profile and be part of a growing team within a leading national firm? This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

I'm working with a Top 45 national law firm looking to strengthen its highly regarded Private Wealth team in Birmingham.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established practice with an excellent reputation in the high-net-worth market, working closely with an experienced Partner and getting involved in some genuinely interesting, high-quality work.

What's in it for you?

  • Quality work: A varied caseload involving complex, high-value probate, estate planning for high-net-worth individuals, lifetime and Will trusts, and wider wealth planning.

  • A chance to make an impact: Be part of the team's continued growth, develop your own professional network and help shape the future of the Birmingham practice.

  • Work with recognised expertise: Join a well-regarded team and work alongside experienced colleagues.

  • Career development: STEP qualification is encouraged, with funding available after 12 months' service.

  • A national platform: Benefit from the strength, resources and reputation of a Top 45 firm, alongside the feel of an established local team.

And the benefits package is impressive too!

  • 28 days' annual leave.

  • Hybrid working and flexibility to support work/life balance.

  • Individual private healthcare cover, with the option to add family members.

  • Pension contributions matched up to 6%.

  • Life assurance at four times your annual salary.

  • Income protection scheme.

  • Employee assistance programme with a confidential 24-hour helpline.

  • Discounted gym membership.

  • Dental scheme.

  • Travel loan scheme.

  • Technology and cycle-to-work schemes.

  • Access to a range of employee offers and discounts.

Who are we looking for?

A qualified Private Client Solicitor, ideally with 4–8 years' PQE, who has strong experience in complex probate, estate planning and trust matters, particularly for high-net-worth clients.

This would suit someone who enjoys quality work, values building strong client relationships and is keen to take the next step within a highly regarded national firm.

If you'd like to find out more, I'd love to have a confidential conversation. Equally, if you're not actively looking but would be open to hearing about something that could offer a fresh challenge, do get in touch.

Speak directly to Leanne Byrne, Senior Consultant at Clayton Legal.
