Overview

Windeatts Solicitors are seeking a Legal Assistant to support our Private Client team.

The position will involve supporting matters such as wills, probate, estate administration, lasting powers of attorney, and trusts, while delivering a professional and compassionate service to clients.

Key Responsibilities

Provide day-to-day administrative support to the Private Client Solicitor(s), including file management, document preparation, and correspondence.

Maintain accurate and up-to-date client files in both digital and paper form.
Liaise with clients, beneficiaries, executors, financial institutions, HMRC, and other third parties as required.
Assist with probate applications, estate accounts, and general administration of estates.
Prepare documentation for client meetings and appointments.
Schedule appointments, manage diaries, and organise meetings.
Ensure compliance with firm procedures, confidentiality requirements, and data protection obligations.
Any other duties as assigned by the Partners.

Skills and Experience Required

Previous experience working for a solicitor, ideally within a private client department (desirable).
Good understanding of private client processes, including wills and probate.
Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with high attention to detail.
Proficient in Microsoft Office 365 (Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams).
Experience using LEAP case management software is desirable.
A proactive, professional, and reliable team player with a positive and empathetic approach.

Personal Attributes

High level of integrity and discretion when handling confidential and sensitive information.
A calm, patient, and client-focused manner, particularly when dealing with vulnerable clients.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive working relationships.
Willingness to learn and adapt within a busy private client environment.

What We Offer

Company pension scheme
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) – 24/7 confidential support
Ongoing professional development and training opportunities
Generous holiday allowance
Free or subsidised parking (location dependent)
A genuine commitment to work-life balance and wellbeing.

About You

We’re looking for someone with:

High level of integrity and discretion when handling confidential information.
Strong interpersonal skills and a client-focused approach.
Willingness to learn and adapt to changing priorities within a busy legal environment.
Knowledge of relevant law and court procedures.
Excellent communication and client care skills.

A proactive, flexible, and team-oriented mindset.
