Private Client Solicitor / Associate

South Coast (Chichester) | Hybrid Working

A Top 50 national law firm with an outstanding reputation for private wealth and succession planning is looking to appoint a talented Private Client Solicitor or Associate to join its growing South Coast team.

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected, nationally recognised private client practice advising high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners on sophisticated wealth structuring, estate planning, and succession matters.

You will be part of an ambitious and collaborative team with a strong pipeline of high-quality work, offering genuine career development, exposure to complex technical matters, and the support of a leading national platform.

The opportunity:

You will step into a varied and intellectually rewarding caseload, working alongside leading practitioners within a Legal 500 and Chambers-ranked team known for handling complex and high-value instructions.

Typical work includes:

• Strategic estate and succession planning for high-net-worth individuals and families
• Complex wills and lifetime wealth structuring
• Trust creation, restructuring, and taxation
• Lifetime inheritance tax planning
• Estate administration involving significant and often multi-jurisdictional assets
• Business succession and wealth preservation strategies
• Advising trustees, business owners, and international clients on sophisticated planning structures

The team regularly advises on substantial estates, complex trust arrangements, and bespoke tax planning strategies, providing exposure to work rarely available outside top-tier environments.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a Top 50 UK firm with national reach and strong regional presence
• Work within a recognised high-net-worth private client practice
• Access to complex, high-value work from day one
• Genuine opportunity to develop technically and commercially
• Supportive, collaborative culture with strong leadership and mentoring
• Clear progression pathways within a growing team
• Hybrid and flexible working built into the team culture

If you’d like to explore this opportunity confidentially, please get in touch for an informal discussion. Even if you’re not actively looking, this is worth a conversation if you’re considering higher-quality work, stronger progression, or a move into a leading national practice.
