Sam Kingston-Stewart
Director & Legal Recruitment Specialist (South)

About the Role

This is a great opportunity to be part of a supportive and structured department, where you’ll play a key role in helping to manage probate matters from start to finish.

You’ll work closely with experienced solicitors and fee earners, assisting on a range of estate administration matters while building your knowledge in a specialist and rewarding area of law.

The role will include:

  • Supporting on probate and estate administration files

  • Preparing documentation and drafting correspondence

  • Liaising with clients, beneficiaries and third parties

  • Assisting with asset and liability information gathering

  • Helping to keep matters progressing efficiently

The firm is open to candidates with some prior Private Client or probate experience, but just as important is a methodical approach and strong attention to detail.

You’ll be joining a team that values its support staff and offers a positive, collaborative working environment, where you’re encouraged to develop your skills over time.

There is also scope to progress your career within Private Client, whether that’s deepening your expertise as a specialist assistant or moving into a more senior role in the future.

What’s on offer:

  • Join a respected and friendly law firm

  • Supportive team with strong guidance available

  • Exposure to a broad range of probate work

  • Long-term development opportunities

If you’d like to find out more, get in touch for a confidential discussion or apply now.

We work with a range of Private Client roles across Kent and the wider South East, so even if this position isn’t quite right, we’d be happy to explore other opportunities with you. Your CV will never be sent without your permission.
