Private Client Solicitor | Associate / Senior Associate level | Oxford
An outstanding opportunity has opened up for a talented Private Client Solicitor to join a highly regarded Private Client team based in Oxford.
This team is consistently recognised for its technical excellence and client-first approach, and the role is ideal for an ambitious Associate or Senior Associate who's ready to step into greater responsibility while still benefiting from genuine support, collaboration, and room to grow.
If you thrive on complex advisory work, enjoy building trusted client relationships, and want to be part of a team that values quality just as much as progression, this role is worth your attention.
The Work You'll Love
You'll handle a broad and complex private client practice, including:
- Drafting Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney
- Delivering estate planning advice, covering:
- Inheritance Tax
- Capital Gains Tax
- Income Tax
- Creation and structuring of lifetime trusts
- Managing estate administrations from start to finish, including:
- Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration
- Foreign domicile matters
- Re-sealing of grants
- Intestate estates
- Preparing deeds of variation, deeds of gift, and family arrangements
- Advising on trust creation, management, and structuring, working closely with a specialist Trust Administration team who handle ongoing administration and compliance
What We're Looking For
We're keen to speak with qualified solicitors who bring:
- A strong background in wills, probate, and estate planning, with experience running their own caseload
- STEP qualification preferred, or a clear commitment to working towards it
- A confident, personable style with excellent written and verbal communication skills
- The ability to work collaboratively, supervise others where appropriate, and lead by example
- A genuine commitment to exceptional client care
- Experience managing relationships across teams and with external referrers
- A flexible mindset and the ability to prioritise effectively under pressure
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than just another private client position. It's a chance to deepen your expertise, gain visibility, and play a meaningful role in a respected team where your contribution truly matters, without sacrificing flexibility or support.
If you're ready to take the next step in a high-quality private client practice, this role delivers on challenge, progression, and balance.
