The Firm has a dearth of outstanding lawyers recognised by Chambers and Legal 500 and they are seeking a Court of Protection Solicitor (NQ to 4PQE) or experienced Legal Executive to join the Court of Protection team situated in their Kent Office.
The Role You will work as part of a team, providing support to the Partners and managing an independent caseload.

The role will also encompass the management of Property and Affairs Deputy-ships, preparation of Personal Injury Trusts and Statutory Wills as well as addressing the needs of disabled clients (property purchases & adaptations).
