Hibberts Solicitors have been delivering expert legal advice and support to clients since 1799, where client care is of the highest priority. The firm are renowned for the delivery of a personal, professional and practical service, and Hibberts pride themselves on their diverse range of clients and services and are noted for their expertise in agriculture, property, tax and trust work.
The Role
Two exciting opportunities arise for full time, experienced and technically-able Private Client Solicitors to join a thriving Private Client Team, consisting of a Head of Department, six Associate Solicitors, a Paralegal and a training Legal Executive. The positions are based from our offices in Cheshire, one at our head office in Nantwich, the other at our office in Tarporley.
The roles come with responsibility for varied and interesting caseloads consisting of Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Probate matters. Both will involve technical aspects of Private client work such as complex trusts, succession planning and experience advising on and claiming agricultural and business property relief.
Working collaboratively with support from experienced members of the team, the role offers development of your expertise. Also, the use of your legal knowledge to support more junior colleagues.
The Successful Candidates
The successful candidates will be experienced in all aspects of Probate and Trust administration, preparation of Wills and IHT planning, including complex estates, high net worth clients, business and farming partnerships/agricultural interests.
In relation to the Nantwich vacancy, applications are sought from experienced Private Client Solicitors with 5 years’ PQE (minimum) and preferably STEP qualified.
For our Tarporley vacancy, applications are sought from experienced Private Client Solicitors with 3 years’ PQE (minimum). This recruitment would be great for a developing Solicitor who is looking to acquire additional specialisms and qualifications, such as STEP.
Managing your own caseload, priorities and demonstrating great organisational skills, you will be able to work autonomously and effectively. You will be client-focussed in your approach, effective and confident in your communication with colleagues and clients alike.
