Private Client Associate – Bristol 

I’m looking to speak with Private Client Solicitors/Lawyers who thrive on the challenges of Estates, Tax, and Trust work. If you want to be part of a dynamic, fast-paced and genuinely supportive team, this is your chance to do the work you love with a leading Legal 500 recognised team in a firm that values both professional excellence and a great working culture.

I’m working with a Top 100 full-service law firm with offices across the UK, who have kept a close-knit, friendly feel that sets them apart. They believe in authenticity and integrity – being yourself with your colleagues and clients. Their reputation is built not just on the quality of our work but on the qualities of our people.

If you have a minimum of 3 years’ PQE, and are looking to take on a diverse workload, this could be the perfect next step for you. Ideally, you’ll have knowledge advising HNW clients and a strong background in wills, estate planning, administration, and trusts, but the firm are happy to shape the role around your strengths. What really matters is that you’re great at building relationships, communicating clearly, and making clients feel supported. The team, led by Legal 500 recognised partners, enjoys an outstanding reputation across the regions. 

Culture is a big deal – they work hard, but also enjoy spending time together, and that social connection is something they really value. The firm follow a hybrid working model, with the role based in a newly refurbished Bristol office 3 days a week. (specific hybrid working needs can be discussed)

Known for being a welcoming, collaborative firm, there aren’t any glass ceilings or rigid structures – a place where you can be yourself and grow your career. Professional development is a priority, with a bespoke structured career program to help you prepare for promotions and future opportunities. 

A competitive package is on offer, including 25 days holiday + BH (increasing with service); a pension plan; 4x salary life assurance; private healthcare; permanent health insurance; two discretionary bonuses. You'd also enjoy a relaxed dress code; annual wellbeing day; travel loans, eye tests, and gym discounts.
