    Solicitors - private client team - United Kingdom - Debenhams Ottaway LLP

    Default job background
    Description

    We are looking for solicitors with a strong technical background who are confident working on complex private client matters and able to provide high levels of client service.

    Our private client team is one of the largest and most experienced in Hertfordshire with four partners, one consultant, three senior associates, six solicitors, a court of protection manager and four legal assistants. We are ranked tier 1 in Legal 500 and band 1 in Chambers HNW.

    We look after the needs of a vast number of Hertfordshire families but what sets us apart is our appeal to wealthy clients in London and the rest of the UK and those looking for a specialist trusts team. Our team is grouped into three main areas:

    • Protecting and managing wealth now and in the future through inheritance tax, estate planning and estate administration.
    • Lifetime planning, including Lasting Powers of Attorney, Court of Protection (COP) and professional deputyship services and the protection of vulnerable adults.
    • Trusts, with a dedicated trusts team of specialist lawyers to help clients set up and administer trusts.

    Our clients:

    90% of work comes from existing clients and referrer recommendations. 100% of client survey respondents would recommend us to family and friends.

    We continue to work closely with the leading financial advisers including St James' Place and Tilney, as well as many banks, and regularly advise their London clients.

    By raising our profile and developing relationships with other professional advisers we have seen a significant rise in young professionals, celebrities, entrepreneurs, business owners and wealthy young families in Hertfordshire, London and across the UK coming to us for advice.

    Working with family, corporate, property and employment teams in the wider private wealth sector, we are developing long term and broader relationships with high net worth clients, helping them with many aspects of their personal and business lives.

    To maintain and maximise client service standards we are Law Society WIQS (Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme) accredited.

    Progression, growth and opportunities:

    Growing and encouraging our future talent is a priority and we help our solicitors to develop specialisms and skills to succeed. Being one of the largest teams in Hertfordshire, we are renowned for the level of our training, supervision and support. Half of the lawyers, and three of the four partners, in the team trained and qualified at Debenhams Ottaway.

    The essentials:

    • A minimum of 2 years PQE withahighlevel ofprivate client technical knowledge.
