Contentious Probate Solicitor (2+ Years PQE)

Reading | Legal 500 Ranked Team | Head of Team individually recognised as market leader

£Highly competitive

Our client is a well-regarded firm with a Legal 500 ranked, specialist contentious probate team. Exclusively contentious probate roles are rare, and this one comes with the backing of a lead partner who is individually ranked by Legal 500.

This is a small, specialist team, which means you will be able to make a real impact from day one.

The Opportunity

  • Run your own caseload while supporting colleagues on larger, higher-value matters
  • Act for claimants and defendants in Inheritance Act claims and challenges to the validity of Wills
  • Handle executor and administrator disputes, including removal applications, and wider estate administration disputes
  • Advise on Court of Protection disputes and a range of trust disputes
  • Work closely with colleagues across the contentious and non-contentious private client teams

About You

  • 2+ years’ experience in contentious trusts and probate and/or civil litigation
  • Ideally some exposure to non-contentious private client work from training or early career (not essential)
  • Genuine interest in building a career in this specialist area

Support & Development

  • Regular supervision and guidance from a ranked, highly respected lead partner
  • A small, specialist team where your contribution is visible and valued
  • The backing of a Legal 500 ranked team and a growing, successful practice
  • A collaborative team that works across the wider private client department
