Job Details
This Tier 1 L500 firm is looking for someone to work closely with a highly respected and industry-leading Partner. The firm has grown substantially due to its excellence and collaborative efforts from Partners and the wider team. They are ranked in the highest tier across several practices, including the contentious trust and estates department.
The firm is based in the heart of the West End and has over 200 staff with a very low attrition rate due to their growth and support given to their high-quality lawyers.
The Firm
They deal with the same quality of work as much larger City firms without all the disadvantages associated with being a small cog in a big machine.

You will find a creative, supportive, dynamic, forward-thinking, and progressive culture. The Partners invest heavily in their teams, with industry-leading training and a real platform for progression. You will find there is a good work-life balance with flexibility. There is an amazing social scene firm-wide, with social clubs, sports clubs and regular social events paid for by the firm.
The firm is seeking a Contentious Trust and Estates Lawyer to join their prestigious team in the West End.
The work that the department undertakes is of the highest quality.
The department regularly deal with all types of probate disputes, including will validity challenges, forgery disputes and bringing/defending challenges under the Inheritance Act. They also regularly deal with a wide range of trust disputes (high-profile trust companies on complex issues relating to succession and tax planning) as well as a wide variety of disputes.

- You will have a meticulous eye for detail
- Excellent communication skills are key
