Private Client Partner

Private Client Partner | Redhill, Surrey | Legal 500 Firm

This is a genuine Partnership opportunity for an experienced Private Client lawyer who wants to build, lead and grow a practice.

A well-established Legal 500 regional firm is looking for an experienced Private Client Partner to join its Redhill office and play a key role in the continued development of the practice.

This isn't a Partnership title without the substance behind it. You'll have the autonomy to develop your own client base, lead high-quality private client work, mentor lawyers around you and have a genuine influence on the direction and growth of the team.

If you've built a strong reputation in Private Client, have established client relationships and are commercially minded, this is an opportunity to join a firm that will give you the platform and support to build something of your own.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on Partner role with genuine scope to shape the practice:

• Develop your own client base and build on your existing relationships and network
• Lead on complex Private Client matters including wills, probate, estate administration and trusts for HNW individuals and families
• Grow the team by mentoring and developing junior lawyers
• Drive business development and raise the profile of the Private Client practice across the Surrey market
• Influence strategy and contribute to the wider direction of the Redhill office
• Work collaboratively with other Partners across the firm to identify opportunities and develop clients
• Build a long-term practice with the backing, infrastructure and resources of an established regional firm

You'll have the freedom to develop your own approach while benefiting from an established platform, existing client relationships and a supportive wider team.
