This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Private Client Solicitor to step into a senior, leadership-focused role in North Birmingham, with the autonomy to build and run an office while being fully supported by a larger, established firm.

The role has been created as part of a wider growth strategy, with a clear intention to develop a strong private client presence in the area.

• Comfortable handling a broad private client caseload, including estates and trusts
• Experience with trusts and complex estates (Desired)
• STEP qualification or working towards STEP (Desired)
• Confident working autonomously and taking ownership of a small office
• Positive, proactive attitude with the resilience to work between a smaller office and the city base
• Interest in leadership, management and the commercial side of running a practice

What you’ll be doing

• Leading and developing the private client offering from the Birmingham office
• Managing a mixed caseload of private client work, with a focus on estates and trusts
• Overseeing and supporting a small but growing local team
• Playing a key role in the commercial and operational management of the office (with support and guidance provided)
• Contributing to team-wide targets while maintaining your own individual performance
• Working closely with colleagues in the Birmingham office to share work, ideas and best practice

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary + bonus potential
• Hybrid working available (around 2 days working from home)
• Team-based bonus structure with individual contribution recognised
• Clear scope for progression, with partnership potential for the right person
• Medicash and wellbeing support from day one
• Social events and community-focused culture
• Discounts on residential legal services
