Job Description

Private Client Solicitor | Leadership Role | 6PQE+ | £55k–£70k | Cheltenham (Hybrid) | HNW Matters

I’ve already placed two solicitors with this firm in 2025, and I’m excited to be recruiting again – this time for a senior role in their respected Private Client team.

This is a well-established regional firm, generating over £7m annually and punching well above its weight. The Private Client team has an excellent reputation for high-quality advice and long-term client care.

You’ll handle a broad and rewarding caseload:

• Wills, LPAs, Trusts
• Probate & Estate Administration
• Inheritance Tax Planning
• Court of Protection
• Exposure to HNW and complex estates (business assets, cross-border work)

The team includes two experienced directors, talented solicitors, trainees and apprentices, plus strong admin support. It’s a close-knit group with a great mix of collaboration and autonomy.

As a senior solicitor, you’ll mentor junior lawyers, work closely with directors on high-value estates, and help shape the department’s future. The firm is particularly interested in candidates who have experience managing or leading a team or department, with opportunities to step into a leadership role.

Progression here is genuine. The firm has a strong track record of promoting from within, and partnership is achievable with mentoring and visibility.

Hybrid working is offered, with trust to manage your own time. Benefits include private medical cover, pension, income protection, 33 days’ holiday, and meaningful wellbeing initiatives.
