Job Description

Private Client Solicitor

Salary: £45,000 – £65,000+ DOE

Location: Romford / East London

Profit-Related Bonus & Fast-Track Progression

An Established Firm. A Specialist Role. A Career-Defining Opportunity.

Our client is a long-standing, highly regarded law firm with deep roots in the East London and Essex community. With over 70 years of history serving a loyal and growing client base, they have built an enviable reputation for quality, bespoke legal services delivered by genuine specialists. This is not a volume-driven firm — it is a place where fee earners are trusted, supported, and rewarded for genuine expertise.

They are now seeking an experienced Private Client Solicitor to join their team in Romford, covering a varied and intellectually engaging caseload with a particular focus on elderly care law.

If you are a Private Client specialist with a passion for client relationships and a desire to grow within a firm that genuinely invests in its people, this is worth your attention.

What You Will Be Doing

You will manage a varied Private Client caseload from instruction through to completion, with a specific focus on elderly care law. Your responsibilities will include:

Drafting Wills, including complex and high-value estate planning matters

Preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney across property, financial, and health and welfare

Probate and full estate administration, including extraction of Grants of Probate

Inheritance Tax planning and succession strategy

Trust drafting and administration

Court of Protection matters

Engaging in business development and networking activities within the local community

Contributing to the continued growth and profile of the Private Client department

What Our Client Is Looking For

Essential

3+ years PQE in Private Client law, gained within a UK legal practice

Demonstrable experience across the full breadth of Private Client work, with a strong grounding in elderly care law

A solid track record of achieving fee targets and business development goals

Enthusiasm for networking and practice development — local candidates are particularly encouraged to apply

A client-focused, practical approach with excellent communication skills

Strong administration and organisational skills with the ability to manage a busy caseload independently

Desirable

STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) qualification or membership

SFE (Solicitors for the Elderly) accreditation or affiliation

Experience using LEAP case management software

Established local connections within the Romford, Havering, or broader East London and Essex area

What is on Offer

Our client offers a genuinely competitive and transparent package, built around individual contribution rather than departmental performance:

Salary: £45,000 – £65,000+ DOE

Profit-Related Bonus: An excellent individual bonus scheme based on your own billing performance — not diluted across a team or department

Fast-Track Progression: Clear and accessible routes into management for those with the ambition to lead

Holiday Allowance: 5.6 weeks per annum inclusive of bank holidays (full time)

Christmas Closure: Additional discretionary leave between Christmas and New Year

Birthday Leave: One additional day's leave for your birthday, after six months' service

Company Pension Scheme

Employee Discount

On-Site Parking

Dedicated Support Staff to manage administrative tasks, allowing you to focus on fee-earning work

Staff Social Events throughout the year

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

An independently minded firm with over seven decades of heritage and a loyal, repeat client base

A culture that rewards individual performance directly — your bonus reflects your efforts, not someone else's

Genuine specialist work in a niche you have chosen to build your career in

A firm that sets realistic billing targets — not inflated figures used as pressure tactics

Dedicated support so you can focus on the legal work, not the admin
