Our Private Client specialists advise on a wide range of personal legal matters, helping clients protect their assets, plan ahead, and support their families.

We take a thoughtful and empathetic approach, recognising that many of the matters we handle are both complex and deeply personal.

Our work includes:

• Wills and estate planning
• Trust creation and administration
• Probate and estate administration
• Inheritance tax planning
• Lasting powers of attorney
• Court of Protection matters
• Succession planning for individuals and families

We focus on building long-term relationships, often supporting clients and their families over many years.

As a Solicitor Apprentice in our Private Client team, no two days are ever quite the same — but each one brings a mix of learning, responsibility, and client interaction.

A typical day might start with reviewing emails and checking in with your team before moving on to supporting with client matters. You could be helping draft wills or legal documents, preparing files for probate applications, or carrying out research to support more complex cases.

Throughout the day, you’ll work closely with experienced colleagues, asking questions, gaining feedback, and building your understanding of both the legal and personal aspects of the work. You may also sit in on client meetings, giving you valuable insight into how conversations are handled with care and professionalism.

There’s a strong focus on development, so you’ll balance your practical work with study as you progress through your apprenticeship. Over time, you’ll take on more responsibility and begin managing aspects of your own workload.
