  • Experience in Private Client law is advantageous but not essential

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive salary and benefits (up to £27,000 per annum, depending on experience)
  • Friendly and supportive working environment
  • Potential for the role to become permanent (dependent on business needs)
  • The opportunity to gain experience in a respected law firm
