Description

My client, a well-established regional law firm with a strong private client reputation across the North and a growing national presence are looking to appoint a Private Client Solicitor (around 5+ PQE) to join their team in either Durham or Darlington, with some flexibility to work across offices.

The Role
The role involves managing a broad private client caseload including wills, trusts, probate, estate administration and LPAs. You’ll have a high level of autonomy, supported by a collaborative team and a flexible, adult approach to working hours within a full-time (35-hour) framework.

The Ideal Candidate
Ideal Candidate This opportunity would suit a solicitor who is technically confident in private client work, commercially aware and client-focused. You’ll enjoy working as part of a team, take pride in building strong client and referrer relationships, and have an interest in contributing to the continued growth of the department.

Benefits The firm offers a competitive salary, a firm-wide bonus scheme, enhanced holiday allowance with Christmas closure, employer pension contributions, life assurance, and a strong focus on wellbeing. Long-term retention is clearly a priority, with additional holiday awarded for length of service.
