Private Client Solicitor – Nottingham – £35,000 to £65,000

The Firm

This is an opportunity to join a truly integrated professional services firm that brings together independent financial planning, asset management, tax, HR, and legal services under one roof. Unlike traditional law firms operating in silos, this organisation delivers joined-up, strategic advice by encouraging collaboration across disciplines — giving solicitors exposure to complex, high-value client matters with real depth.

The firm is forward-thinking and technology-driven, investing in systems that streamline administration, reduce paperwork and enhance client communication, allowing lawyers to focus on delivering exceptional advice. It is also purpose-led, holding B-Corp certification and actively supporting community initiatives through its charitable foundation. Recognised as a multi-award-winning employer, it has built a reputation for investing in its people and fostering a culture where professionals can genuinely thrive.
