This is an opportunity to join a thriving North Shore based practice that represents a multi-generational client base including high net worth individuals to your everyday individuals. This is a role where you can work with a good level of autonomy with private clients and assist them in their personal affairs as it relates to trusts, wills, estates, wealth and succession planning, family charters, powers of attorney, inheritance planning and asset structuring matters.
 
The team works flexibly and there is an expert partner that is there for mentorship on complex matters, as well as other junior lawyers that you will help mentor and work with as part of the team too. 
 
About you
To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:
  • 4+ years' solid legal experience with a decent amount of trusts, and private client experience gained in a general practice law firm or specialist team;
  • An ability to communicate well and build rapport with a range of private clients from different backgrounds and ages;
  • Sound drafting skills and the ability to provide advice in a clear and concise manner; 
  • Strong interpersonal skills. 
If you live on the North Shore and are seeking an easier commute, or if you'd like to join a specialist team and work with an expert partner who does quality work while retaining a decent work/life balance, then enquire now. There is a partnership pathway for those that may want it. 

If you're looking for 4 days per week or part time hours, our client may consider this for a senior lawyer also.
