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!

If you would like to hear more about this contentious probate opportunity, please contact Rebecca Higgs at G2 Legal or apply online.

Description

Legal Executive Job Description

An authorised lawyer is a chartered legal executive. Chartered Legal Executives specialise in a particular field of law and work with Solicitors or CILEx Practitioners on restricted legal work. The legal work comprises transportation (where legal work is needed to buy or sell property). You also work on the criminal code (where you defend or take a court case against a person accused of a crime). You also cover the area of business and company law (laws relating to businesses, such as tax or employment) and courtroom battles (going to court to sort out disputes). In addition, according to the legal executive job description, injuries to individuals (such as accident claims) and the family's law (divorce and sorting issues about money, property and children) are also areas of your work.

Legal Executive Job Responsibilities

The Legal Executives provide legal advice to clients and clarify complex legal issues. They connect with the clients successfully, make agreements, act as a go-between for the clients, and negotiate and correspond on their behalf. These executives interview and advise witnesses and clients. Furthermore, the study, analyse, and summarise legal knowledge and information to compile legal papers (research). They also collaborate with colleagues from courts, law firms, banks, and accounting firms. These personnel contact experts such as mortgage lenders, planning officers, or other lawyers and represent clients in county and magistrates' courts on behalf of the clients. It is their job to serve as oath commissioners for the swearing-in of legal documents.

Skills Required To Build A Legal Executive Career

You will need exceptional communication abilities and problem-solving and analytical skills to coordinate with the clients. They need negotiation skills and commercial awareness to communicate effectively. The capacity to prioritise activities and plan work is also a plus.

Administrative, numeracy, and information technology skills, along with the ability to work privately, are required. Meticulous attention to detail also leads you to work effectively and efficiently. Excellent research abilities and working under time constraints also come in handy. You can find out more about the newly posted legal executive positions at Simply Law Jobs.
