Job Description
Contentious Probate Partner - 4-Day Week Up to £100k Fully Remote or Office-Based
Are you a seasoned contentious probate solicitor ready to lead your own department-with complete autonomy, flexibility, and a forward-thinking firm behind you?
This is a rare opportunity to build and grow a contentious probate practice within a modern, tech-driven law firm already well-established in private client services. With an existing client base and rising demand for complex, high-value cases-particularly with international and cross-border elements-you'll have the foundation and support to make this your own.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
Ready to take the lead in a firm that truly values innovation, flexibility, and autonomy? Apply now to shape a contentious probate department on your terms.
