JOB TITLE: Contentious Probate Solicitor
PQE REQUIRED: 4+
LOCATION: Berkshire
SALARY: £60,000 - £75,000 (DOE)
THE ROLE:
A well-established Thames Valley firm is looking to appoint an experienced Contentious Probate Solicitor to join its growing disputes team. This role focuses on advising clients on a wide range of private wealth disputes, including challenges to wills, estate administration issues and claims involving trusts and inheritance.
You will take responsibility for a varied caseload, working closely with senior colleagues on more complex and sensitive matters while also managing your own files independently. The role offers regular client contact, requiring a thoughtful and pragmatic approach to often delicate situations. Alongside casework, you will contribute to the development of the practice through client relationship management and participation in networking and business development initiatives. This is a position suited to a solicitor seeking a balance of autonomy and collaboration, within a team recognised for its strength in dispute resolution work.
THE CANDIDATE:
The successful candidate will be a qualified Solicitor with at least four years’ post-qualification experience in contentious probate or private wealth disputes. You will have a solid grounding in handling disputes relating to estates and trusts, with the ability to manage matters effectively from initial instruction through to resolution. You will demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, a sensitive and professional approach to client care, and the ability to communicate complex issues clearly. A proactive attitude, sound organisational skills and an interest in business development will be important. An ACTAPS qualification would be advantageous but is not essential.
THE FIRM:
This is a long-established firm with a strong presence in Berkshire and a recognised reputation for dispute resolution work. The firm is known for its supportive culture, long-standing client relationships and commitment to delivering high standards of service. Lawyers benefit from a collaborative environment and genuine opportunities for career progression.
PACKAGE:
Competitive salary of £60,000 - £75,000 (DOE) together with a discretionary bonus scheme, hybrid working arrangements, generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, private medical options and a range of additional benefits supporting professional development and wellbeing.
