Moore Barlow is currently seeking a Solicitor or Legal Executive to join our specialist Private Wealth Team based in Lymington.
More about us:
Formed via a merger in 2020, Moore Barlow is a leading law firm aiming to be the best law firm to work for regionally. We are a career firm, providing access to high-quality work, long-term career opportunities and an environment built on the premise of being “human first” in everything we do. Put simply, we care as much about your career as you do.
We are featured in The Times’ Best Law Firms 2024 list, and consistently achieve recognition for the quality of our services in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, including specific recognition for our work in Private Wealth.
We are now 450 people, including 280 lawyers and 58 Partners, with offices across the South-East and London.
More about our Private Wealth Team:
Led by Naomi Wilkes (Partner), our Private Wealth Team in Lymington has received recognition in both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for the quality of the service they provide their clients.
Our team works predominantly with individuals falling into the “high-net-worth” category (which typically refers to those with personal assets totalling £2m-£20m) across the full spectrum of private client matters. This will include taking instructions on the preparation of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, lifetime and succession planning, IHT and CGT planning, estate administration, as well as the creation, administration, and winding up of trusts.
Day to Day:
In this role you will manage your own caseload of mixed Private Wealth matters, establishing yourself as a trusted and reliable expert as you develop strong and long-lasting relationships with your clients. We believe in shared success and, as such, you can expect mentorship and guidance from the seniors within the team, as well as day-to-day support from our excellent paralegals and other legal support colleagues.
Additionally, you will play a vital role in the support and development of the less-experienced members of the department, including Trainees and Paralegals.
Given the breadth of our expertise in this area of law, this position will provide you with an excellent opportunity for further professional development and growth. You will also be encouraged to play an active role in the marketing and business development activities of the team.
What we look for:
- A qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with prior experience in the area of Private Wealth (aka Private Client).
- We do not tend to use PQE as the sole measure of experience, but we are ideally seeking somebody with between 1-4 years’ worth of experience of managing their own caseload of private client matters. Ultimately, we are keen to hear from individuals who are currently in or feel ready to step into a role at this level, and who are keen to develop further as part of our specialist team.
- You will have experience in, or a keen interest to be involved in, marketing and business development activities.
- An ability to communicate confidently and clearly with a wide variety of clients, many of which are going through a difficult period following the death of a loved one.
- We are human-first in everything we do and seek people who share this trait. You will therefore have, a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and the ability to think creatively.
- Whilst this position is offered full-time, we offer a split of working from home and in the office, we are a flexible team and are open to considering part-time working patterns.
Above all, ours is a friendly, empathetic and expert team and as such, we are seeking an individual who is able to demonstrate a team-focused mindset, and a passion for achieving the right outcome for the clients we serve, and the Firm.
If you have the required skills and experience and are keen to advance your career as part of our specialist Private Wealth Team, then we strongly encourage you to apply.
