This leading firm has a vacancy for a Contested Probate Lawyer to join their specialist Court of Protection and Inheritance Disputes team in Essex. You will join a niche and highly regarded team that provides specialist advice and guides their clients through wills, trust and inheritance disputes as well as disputes arising in the Court of Protection.

The team’s work often also involves advising on the beneficial interest in property. The role will involve marketing and business development.

The firm is looking for a Solicitor/Legal Executive with at least 3 years’ PQE or equivalent to join their highly driven team. You will have proven experience in the field of contested trust and probate work and preferably hold full ACTAPS membership. Candidates with general litigation or private client experience would be welcome to apply for this position but you must have a genuine desire to specialise in contested trust and probate work.
