We are always looking for exceptional private client lawyers to join our team. We would consider any level of experience, but a desire (even if no current experience) to work with HNW and more complicated estate and trust work is a must.
The firm works predominatly on high net worth and technical estate planning, trust and probate matters, often with a cross-border element. For this reason the ideal candidate will either already be STEP Qualified, or looking to gain this qualification.
You should have experience of the following types of work:
-
Taking testamentary instructions and drafting wills including the use of life interest and discretionary trusts
-
Taking probate instructions and administering both testate and intestate estates
-
Advising on the use of lifetime trusts and assisting with the administration of ongoing trusts
-
Advising on and preparing powers of attorney (lasting, general, advanced directives)
Any additional experience you have with the Court of Protection would be helpful.
If you would like to apply for this role, please submit a CV and covering letter by email to Alex Stanier.
