Private Client Associate/Legal Director

If you’ve reached the stage in your Private Client career where you’re looking for more than simply managing a caseload, this could be a particularly interesting opportunity.

I’m keen to speak with experienced Private Client lawyers at Associate through to Legal Director level who would like to take on a genuinely influential role within a highly regarded Dundee team.

You’ll handle a high-quality and varied caseload, advising individuals and families on complex executries, trusts, inheritance tax, estate and succession planning and wider private wealth matters. You’ll work closely with experienced Partners, taking the lead on more complex matters and becoming a trusted adviser to clients, often across generations.

However, this role is about considerably more than the technical work.

You’ll have the opportunity to play an important part in the continued development of the team, supporting and mentoring more junior colleagues, sharing your knowledge and helping them develop their own careers.

There will also be plenty of scope to become involved in business development, strengthen existing client relationships and build your own profile within the Private Client market.

I’m particularly interested in speaking with lawyers who are ambitious about their own career but who also enjoy being part of a collaborative team.

You’ll already have strong Private Client experience and be comfortable handling more complex matters independently. Experience of trusts, inheritance tax planning and higher-value executries would be particularly valuable, as would STEP qualification or working towards it.

Perhaps most importantly, you’ll want to have a voice in the future development of the practice rather than simply inheriting another caseload.

There is genuine scope for progression for the right person. If you’re currently an Associate or Senior Associate wondering what the next step looks like, or you're already operating at Legal Director level and would like greater influence and opportunity, I’d be very happy to have an initial confidential conversation.

A competitive salary and very generous benefits package is offered.
