Job Description

Due to planned growth, my client is seeking a locum Private Client Solicitor to join their team in London.

Assignment Details

• Locum position
• Initial duration: 3 months
• High likelihood of extension or potential permanent route
• Hybrid arrangement with preferred office attendance Tuesday–Thursday
• Immediate start preferred.

The Opportunity

The incoming solicitor will join the Probate arm of a rapidly scaling company known for delivering a more human and technology-enabled approach to estate administration and estate planning. The role sits at the heart of their legal service, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure clients receive clear, compassionate and streamlined support.

This role suits someone looking for something different from the traditional private client environment—more autonomy, faster pace, and the chance to influence how legal services evolve.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a full probate caseload, including complex grant-only and estate administration matters.
• Serve as the main client contact, conducting initial calls and providing clear, empathetic guidance throughout.
• Support estate planning matters such as wills, with potential involvement in trusts where relevant.
• Work cross-functionally with internal teams to deliver a smooth client experience.
• Assist with the improvement of templates, workflows and processes suited to a fast-paced environment.
• Support additional projects that naturally arise within a high-growth setting.

The Environment

Candidates can expect a forward-thinking, mission-driven culture built around compassion, innovation and openness. The business is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK and offers a non-traditional setting for solicitors who want to develop, take ownership, and avoid the rigidity of a classic firm structure.

Requirements

• Qualified Private Client Solicitor with strong, demonstrable probate experience (essential).
• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, modern, tech-driven environment.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly and compassionately.
• STEP qualification (advantageous but not essential).
