    Private Client

    Private client is currently the most acute talent shortage in regional legal markets. Demand for experienced wills, probate, trusts, and Court of Protection lawyers consistently outstrips supply.

    We work with firms ranging from long-established high street practices to boutique trusts specialists and full-service regional players. The work spans pure technical estate planning through to relationship-led private client advisory for high-net-worth families.

    Solicitors in this market are in a strong position. We provide candid advice on what your experience is worth, where the genuinely interesting work is, and which firms will actually deliver on the promises made at interview.
