  • Proven track record advising HNW clients across wills, trusts, tax, and estate planning

  • Experience leading and mentoring a private client team

  • Strong business development capability and commitment to client relationships

  • Motivated, commercially minded, and collaborative

What’s on offer

This is a rare opening for a driven private client specialist to join a respected Liverpool firm and make a long-term impact. Whether you are already a Private Client Partner or an ambitious Senior Associate ready to step up, this opportunity offers the platform, support, and client base to succeed.

If you are a private client solicitor in Liverpool looking for a senior, high-profile role with real influence, we would be keen to speak with you.
