Are you a contentious probate solicitor with 2-4 years PQE seeking a better working environment? Having placed people here over the past 8 years, I know first-hand that the firm offers genuine flexibility to work from home, a collaborative and supportive culture, and a Director who really does champion progression!

The Firm/Team

Our client is a leading firm in the area that is seeking to add to its flourishing contentious probate team. They currently have a team leader, an associate and support staff. This really does give a junior contentious probate solicitor the chance to work alongside experienced people and develop their knowledge quickly.

The Role

This role has arisen purely due to expansion. You will join a team assisting on large and complex contentious probate matters whilst developing your own caseload under supervision. You will have the support of an experienced legal secretary.

What is in it for you?

I cannot speak highly enough of the firm, the culture and the ethos. They very much want every single person to progress through the ranks as quickly as possible. They have an open-door policy and plenty of support, and working from home is not frowned upon – actually most of the team works from home at least a few days a week! Work/life balance is key! This really is a firm with genuine progression!
