Job Title: Private Client Solicitor / Chartered Legal Executive
Position: Part Time – Permanent
Location: Paignton, Devon
Lister Langley Solicitors is a niche private practise advising high net worth individuals and corporate clients in the area of tax and estate planning. We work closely with a large number of professional intermediaries across the UK and overseas to devise and implement tax and estate planning strategies designed to meet the specific needs of our clients. Our clients are local, national and international.
Due to our strong professional connections, high quality client base combined with the increasing volume of work and a desire to expand, we are now seeking to recruit a talented, highly motivated and experienced Private Client Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to strengthen our team.
The ideal candidate will have at least 3 years post qualification experience and will currently be working in a private client department. The successful applicant must be able to manage their own caseload which will include Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection work, the establishment and management of Lifetime and Will trusts, probate and the administration of estates. Knowledge and experience of advising clients on inheritance tax and capital gains tax planning is essential. The successful candidate will also be required to supervise and support junior members of staff.
A track record of business development and the ability to demonstrate marketing skills would be advantageous. Although not essential, a candidate with their own professional connections or client following who wishes for their existing clients to receive an extra ordinary level of service and advice would be welcome.
Perhaps you feel undervalued and want to join a firm that is progressive, pro-active, which supports a person’s career development and rewards hard work.
Maybe you relish a challenge and the opportunity to work with local, national and international clients and professional intermediaries, having exposure to different tax planning solutions excites you.
