Department: Lifetime Planning
Location: Gloucester or Stroud
At Redkite Solicitors, we’ve been advising individuals, families and businesses for over a century, but we are firmly focused on what comes next. As one of the fastest-growing full-service law firms in Wales and the South-West, we are continuing to evolve our Private Client offering with ambitious growth plans, modern leadership and a people-first culture. Help shape the future of Lifetime Planning at Redkite.
Private Client is one of the firm’s largest and most strategically important departments, playing a significant role in both our growth and the experience we deliver to our clients and communities. As part of our long-term vision, we have evolved our Private Client offering into specialist Probate and Lifetime Planning teams. We believe this allows us to better support clients through increasingly complex personal, financial and family situations, whilst also giving our lawyers the opportunity to deepen their expertise and build meaningful, long-term client relationships.
Our approach to client experience
We believe great Lifetime Planning lawyers don’t just respond to instructions – they help clients define what they need.
That means asking thoughtful questions, identifying risks clients may not yet have considered, and addressing the wider emotional and practical context around their decisions.
Our aim is to give clients confidence in the future, knowing their affairs are structured in a way that reflects what matters most to them.
You’ll work closely with individuals, families and business owners to provide practical, thoughtful and commercially minded advice around future planning and asset protection.
You’ll take the time to understand each client’s wider circumstances – including their priorities, relationships and long-term objectives – ensuring your advice reflects what matters most and helps them plan with confidence.
