The Department
The Private Client department is based at six of our seven offices and currently comprises 17 lawyers and 10 support team members.
Our support team members have joined the firm having come from a variety of previous roles. They all work cohesively to support one another and you will be paired up with an experienced assistant when you join so that you receive in-depth on-the-job training.

· Previous experience of working within a legal sector is not essential as full training on the Private Client practice area will be given.
· You will need to possess strong organisational and prioritisation skills and be able to manage your own workload. The role will involve quite a lot of client contact so being able to maintain confidentiality at all times along with excellent interpersonal and communication skills is essential.
