Private Client Partner

This role exists because the team has grown, quickly. There’s a strong pipeline of private client work across multiple Yorkshire offices, but locally the teams are junior-heavy and need someone experienced to steady things and lead from the front.

You’ll walk into an established caseload spanning wills, probate, LPAs, trusts and more complex estates. In the first few months, the focus is simple: take ownership, get to know the clients, and become the person others turn to for guidance.

Over the first year, your role naturally broadens. You’ll support and mentor junior lawyers, help improve consistency across the team, and build stronger relationships with clients and referrers. There’s no expectation to overhaul everything, but your input will genuinely shape how the team develops.

Longer term, this becomes a leadership position in all but name. You’ll be the senior presence locally, helping grow the offering and influencing the direction of the department, while still being supported by a wider, well-established team.

The culture strikes a good balance, collaborative without being overly structured, supportive without being restrictive. You’ll have autonomy day-to-day, but you’re not left on your own.
