Private Client Associate Lawyer - #2166827

Opportunity: Associate Solicitor - Private Client

Location: Bristol | Hybrid & Flexible Working

Salary: Up to £75,000 + Bonus

Complex private wealth work, international clients and the opportunity to build your expertise within an established international firm.

I'm working with a highly regarded international law firm looking to strengthen its Bristol Private Client team. With offices across the UK and internationally, the firm advises a sophisticated client base, including HNW and UHNW individuals, families and business owners, on matters that can span multiple jurisdictions.

For an Associate looking to broaden their experience, work on more complex matters and benefit from the backing of an established international practice, this is well worth exploring!

The Work:

You'll handle a varied caseload of high-value Private Client matters, including:

• Wills, estate planning and succession strategies.
• Trust creation, administration and tax planning.
• Complex probate and estate administration, including substantial family and business assets.
• Inheritance tax planning and wealth preservation.
• Cross-border estates, international assets and multi-jurisdictional arrangements.
• Court of Protection and capacity matters.

With expertise spanning private wealth, family law, property and dispute resolution, the firm can offer clients joined-up advice on complex personal and business affairs, giving you valuable exposure to matters beyond the traditional Private Client remit.

The Team, Culture & Progression:

You'll join a collaborative Bristol team backed by a wider network of experienced specialists, with the autonomy to manage your work and build client relationships while continuing to develop your expertise.

The firm places real emphasis on professional development, knowledge-sharing and internal progression, with opportunities to broaden your technical experience and get involved in client development as your career advances.

It's also a certified B Corporation and holds Investor in People Gold accreditation, reflecting its commitment to responsible business and investing in its people.

Who Would Suit This?

A Private Client Solicitor with around 3+ PQE, with a strong grounding in wills, trusts, estates and succession planning, and an interest in developing their experience with high-value clients and complex matters.

Experience with HNW or UHNW clients and cross-border work would be advantageous, alongside strong technical ability, commercial awareness and a client-focused approach.

What's on Offer?

• 30 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, birthday leave and additional time off over Christmas and New Year.
• Private healthcare and family healthcare cashback.
• 5% employer pension contribution and life assurance 4x salary.
• Option to buy up to five additional days' holiday.
• Enhanced maternity pay.
• Wellbeing support and an employee assistance programme.
