Senior Solicitor / Partner - Private Client (8+ PQE)
Location: Wimbledon
I'm representing a well-established, forward-thinking firm that is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Solicitor or Partner-level Private Client specialist. This is a key strategic hire, ideal for someone with at least eight years' PQE who is ready to take ownership of a growing practice and play an instrumental role in strengthening its presence in Wimbledon and the surrounding areas.
The role suits a lawyer who is not only technically strong but commercially aware - someone who enjoys client engagement, business development and shaping the direction of a team. You'll be working closely with colleagues across multiple departments, and there is a clear expectation of cross-referring work and building internal relationships that support long-term departmental growth.
Core Work & Responsibilities
The successful candidate will handle a broad range of private client matters, including:
Drafting Wills
Estate administration, including cross-border estates
Trusts
Lasting powers of attorney
Experience managing high-value estates would be particularly valuable. You'll also have the support of dedicated administrative and paralegal resources, allowing you to focus on higher-level advisory work, client relationships and strategic development.
Ideal Profile
Candidates who thrive in this environment typically demonstrate:
Strong commercial awareness and precise drafting abilities
Excellent communication, analytical and organisational skills
The capacity to mentor junior team members while collaborating effectively with senior colleagues
Confidence in managing deadlines, targets and client protocols without compromising quality
A proactive mindset when it comes to networking and business development
A STEP qualification is beneficial but not essential.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
The firm offers a highly competitive salary, generous benefits and, importantly, a well-defined career development framework. They are recognised for their investment in people and ensure every senior lawyer has a clear path for progression, consistent feedback, and access to tailored technical training. Advancement is based on contribution and impact rather than years served, which creates genuine long-term potential for those with ambition.
