    Default job background
    Description

    Join our dynamic Will Disputes & Contentious Probate team where you'll be immersed in a diverse range of contentious probate matters. Collaborating closely with our Wills, Trusts, and Estates team, you'll handle an array of cases, from Inheritance Act claims to disputes over the validity of Wills, executor conflicts, estate administration disputes, Court of Protection matters, and various trust disputes.

    This role offers a rare opportunity to focus exclusively on contentious probate litigation, with a caseload that spans the breadth of this field. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own cases while also contributing to larger team endeavors. Supported by our esteemed Head of Will Disputes & Contentious Probate, recognised as a Leading Individual by Legal 500, you'll benefit from guidance and mentorship as you navigate complex legal challenges.

    Our client fosters a culture of development and recognition, where success is celebrated regardless of tenure or background. Our ethos ensures equal opportunities for all, fostering engagement, participation, and accountability at every level.

    Located in the heart of Reading, our clients offices provide an excellent work environment. We understand the importance of work-life balance, offering enhanced family-friendly benefits, flexible working arrangements, and remote work options. Additionally, we provide comprehensive employee benefits, including life assurance, income protection, and access to a virtual GP service, among others.

    If you're passionate, pragmatic, and eager to contribute to a collaborative team while advancing your career, we invite you to join us.
