Full job description

Buckles Law is an award-winning firm that provides world-class client experience and services on a comprehensive range of legal services to both businesses and individuals in the UK and internationally.

Delivering effective and cost-efficient legal solutions from our offices based in Bristol, Cambridge, London, Nottingham, Peterborough, and Stamford with international presence in Paris and Milan.

We recognise that all this is possible due to our team of highly dedicated, enthusiastic professionals across our locations. We pride ourselves on providing a positive work environment where independent thinking and new ideas are actively encouraged and where every member of the team genuinely can make a difference.

Buckles holds the LawNet Mark of Excellence, is Investor in People Gold accredited, and is a certified B Corporation, reflecting its commitment to excellence, people and responsible business practices.

As a result of continuing growth, we are looking to recruit an experienced Wills, Trust and Estates Disputes (WTED) Lawyer. Ideally, we would like the successful candidate to have 4-8+ years PQE and a strong understanding with extensive knowledge of WTED law.

This position is office based with some working from home options. Our new role in the WTED team is full-time – 37.5 hours per week. We are flexible on office location for the successful candidate.

The team is recognised for its expertise in the Legal 500 and the Chambers & Partners High Net Worth Guide to the World’s leading Private Wealth Advisers.

The team acts for individual clients both bringing and defending claims across a range of contentious trusts and probate issues such as Inheritance Act claims, will challenges (capacity, lack of knowledge and approval and so on), trust disputes, executor and trustee issues, construction and rectification, proprietary estoppel, court of protection and care fee disputes to name but some of our core areas.

Buckles have a strong international team which results in our involvement in some cross border claims with a European element.

The team continues to be very successful, providing a supportive and friendly team environment and the platform to develop both legal knowledge and career.

Compliance with financial procedures and accounting rules.
Undertake and deliver work in a commercially effective manner.
Delegate and cross-refer work effectively to appropriate personnel.
Continually develop technical and non-technical skills to meet client and firm requirements and demonstrate continuous improvement in all areas of work

Skills and experience required:

You will preferably be an experienced WTED lawyer but applications for less experienced candidates with an interest in and aptitude for this area also considered

You will be a team player with strong communication skills and attention to detail
