You've spent the first few years of your career carefully honing in on your chosen specialism of probate law, focusing on contentious matters. But, you've reached somewhat of a ceiling.

How about becoming the newest Contentious Probate Lawyer at this renowned regional firm in Kent? They're looking for a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with at least 3 years of experience to join their ambitious team of 6 based in their Tunbridge Wells office.

Based at a vast, modern office that both complements and contrasts with this legal firm's rich historical prestige, you'll benefit from your wider team's extensive experience while utilising their innovative working practices.

At a firm with a strong ethos of encouraging progression and innovation, you'll find yourself working on a variety of estate administration matters, gaining invaluable exposure to complex High Net Worth, international and cross-border cases, the volume of which increases year upon year. Unhindered by closed-door policies, you'll benefit from the team's trusting nature as well as from the aid of a Professional Support Lawyer and further support staff.

Situate yourself in a prime position to develop and showcase your legal prowess within a wholeheartedly supportive environment, providing legal services to loyal clients while building the firm's reputation and your own by conducting business development, writing and publishing articles, and attending relevant training and networking events.
