The Role

This is a unique opportunity for a Private Wealth Senior Associate / Partner to join an industry leading and growing team in Manchester, working alongside exceptional lawyers on behalf of a broad domestic and international client base.

The Private Wealth team has built a strong reputation for advising entrepreneurial HNW and UHNW individuals, families and business owners on complex private wealth matters.

You will see matters through from early stage strategy and advisory work through to implementation and resolution, including involvement in contentious disputes where required. The role offers meaningful client contact and early responsibility, with increasing autonomy as your confidence and capability develop. There is also genuine scope to build your professional network, raise your profile and play an active role in business development within the wider Private Client community.
