Job Description
Senior Private Client Solicitor

Location: Harrogate

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: Competitive + Benefits

The Opportunity

This is the role experienced Private Client solicitors wait for.

If you are an accomplished Wills and Probate solicitor who enjoys sophisticated work, values meaningful client relationships, and wants to feel genuinely supported and appreciated, this opportunity offers something special.

This is a rare chance to join a highly respected, long-established firm with a modern, progressive outlook. The culture is collaborative, personable, and agile, where quality of work and people truly matter. With a close-knit team across both offices, everyone is known, everyone matters, and everyone plays a part in the firm's continued success and growth.

You will be joining a thriving Harrogate office, taking on a high-quality, varied caseload with real autonomy, supported by a leadership team that trusts your judgement and encourages you to do your best work.

The work is intellectually stimulating, meaningful, and rewarding-far removed from high-volume "production-line" private client work.

The Role

You will manage your own caseload across the full spectrum of Private Client work, providing clear, compassionate and technically excellent advice. Your work will include:

  • Wills and estate planning
  • Probate matters from start to finish
  • Lasting Powers of Attorney and registration
  • Trust work, including inter vivos and Will trusts
  • Court of Protection matters
  • Associated property work linked to private client cases

You will also have the opportunity to develop and maintain strong relationships with referrers, contribute to business development in a supported and natural way, and play a part in shaping the future direction of the department.

What We're Looking For
  • A qualified Solicitor with strong experience in Private Client work
  • Proven ability to manage a varied Wills and Probate caseload independently
  • Strong technical knowledge across core private client disciplines
  • Excellent communication skills and a client-focused approach
  • Confidence in building and maintaining professional relationships
  • A proactive, collaborative mindset
What's on Offer
  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • High-quality, varied and intellectually rewarding work
  • Genuine autonomy alongside supportive leadership
  • Clear opportunities for progression and development
  • A friendly, collaborative working environment
