Moore Barlow is currently seeking a confident and capable Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to join our Private Wealth Team in Woking & Richmond, on a fixed-term basis.
About us
We are different - although a Top Regional Law firm, and one of The Times’ Best Law Firms of 2024, we strive to be 'Human First' in everything we do. This means we truly care about our teams as well as our clients. You’ll find a career with Moore Barlow rewarding with plenty of opportunity for personal growth and development.
We offer a hybrid working approach, combining both office and home working allowing our colleagues to work flexibly. This role will be split between our Woking and Richmond offices, and the successful candidate will ideally spend two days a week in each office, with the final day working from home or at the office of their choice. Each office provides services to a differing mix of Clients, and the opportunity to work at each of these locations offers the successful applicant genuine variety and the ability to quickly develop new skills.
We are offering this position on a fixed-term basis to cover a period of maternity leave. We envisage the role commencing in January 2024 and lasting for a period of 12 months. As with any fixed-term contract, there may be the option to extend this contract or move to a permanent position, but this is not a guarantee as it is subject to team/business requirements at the time.
Day to day
Our Solicitors and Chartered Legal Executives play a vital role in the success of our team, taking ownership of their own caseload of matters whilst assisting the Partners and Senior Associates within the team on matters of greater complexity.
Our Private Wealth Team works predominantly with individuals falling into the “high-net-worth” category (which typically refers to those with personal assets totalling £5m-£20m) across the full spectrum of private client matters. This will include taking instructions on the preparation of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, lifetime and succession planning, IHT and CGT planning, estate administration, as well as the creation, administration, and winding up of trusts.
What we look for
Our Firm is built on the value of “Human First” and, because of that, we are looking to recruit those with a passion for delivering the best possible outcomes for their clients, and the drive to continuously learn and improve.
We are a friendly, flexible, and open team who look for the same. You may be a seasoned contract worker, between permanent positions, or somebody who is looking to try something different for a limited time!
You will ideally:
- Have experience as a Private Wealth (aka Private Client) Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive, with around 0.5 – 3 years’ worth of post-qualification experience.
- Have experience with managing your own caseload of private client matters, and a willingness to provide support on complex matters that require wider team involvement.
- Be based within a commutable distance of both our Richmond and Woking offices (both offices are located close to public transport links).
- Be STEP qualified but this is much more of an “icing on the cake” qualification!
- Great communication skills, a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and the ability to think creatively.
Above all, ours is a friendly, empathetic and expert team and as such, we are seeking an individual who is able to demonstrate a team-focused mindset, and a passion for achieving the right outcome for the clients we serve, and the Firm.
