Senior Associate – Private Client

Location: Worcester or Birmingham (Hybrid)

Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits

An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an experienced Private Client lawyer to join a highly regarded and long-established regional law firm with a strong reputation for quality service and an impressive client base.

This is a senior position within a Legal 500-recognised Private Client department, offering a varied and high-quality caseload including Wills, LPAs, trusts, estate administration and complex tax planning matters. You’ll also play a key role in leading and mentoring a talented team, shaping strategy, and supporting the continued growth of the division.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing a diverse and often complex caseload of private client matters.
• Acting as a trusted advisor to high-net-worth individuals and families.
• Providing leadership, mentoring and technical guidance to colleagues.
• Maintaining and developing strong client relationships, delivering exceptional service.
• Engaging in business development and networking to grow the team’s reach and reputation.

What we’re looking for:

• Ideally 6+ years’ PQE, though applications from lawyers with fewer years’ experience but the right expertise and drive will be warmly considered.
• Strong technical knowledge in private client work, with excellent judgement and client care skills.
• Proven ability to manage multiple matters effectively, meeting deadlines without compromising quality.
• Commercial awareness and a collaborative approach.
• STEP qualification is desirable but not essential.

Why join?

• Opportunity to be based in Worcester or Birmingham, with the backing of a firm that has a rich heritage and modern, forward-thinking outlook.
• A genuinely supportive culture with strong career progression opportunities – including potential for partnership.
• A healthy work/life balance, competitive salary, and an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave, healthcare, life insurance, pension, and additional perks.
• The chance to work with a highly successful team in a firm that invests in its people and values long-term relationships.

If you’re a private client specialist looking for your next move – whether or not you have the full 6+ years’ PQE – I’d be delighted to speak confidentially. If this role isn’t quite the right fit, I can also explore other opportunities that may suit your skills and ambitions.
