  • Stay up to date with developments in succession law, probate rules, case law, and court procedures, ensuring advice remains accurate and compliant.
  • Work collaboratively with external professionals (such as accountants, financial advisers, and trustees) to deliver holistic client outcomes.
  • Maintain accurate and thorough file management and case records in accordance with professional and ethical standards.

This is a hands-on role that will suit a proactive, detail-oriented lawyer who combines empathy with strong commercial and technical acumen in wills, probate, and estate matters.

  • Proven experience representing clients in complex estate litigation, including contested probate, family provision claims, and briefing counsel where appropriate.
  • Ability to build and maintain strong referral networks, contribute to firm growth, and enhance the firm's reputation in Wills & Estates law.
  • Commitment to the highest professional and ethical standards, with meticulous file management and compliance with Law Society guidelines.
  • Experience in mediation and alternative dispute resolution to achieve cost-effective, client-centred outcomes.
  • Exceptional drafting, advisory, and communication skills across Wills, powers of attorney, guardianships, and testamentary trusts.
