If you’ve got the Will, we’ve got the way

Now we’ve got the wordplay out of the way on a tired cliché, let’s be clear: there’s nothing tired or clichéd about us. If you’ve got the will to develop your career, then we definitely have the way.

Right now we’re looking for someone to join our team in Wellingborough and Corby.

Your Role

It’s not all file work! We want someone able to build relationships internally and externally, and the right person will shape their role and contribute to the team in their own way. You will provide clients with expert legal advice, will be supported by other experienced legal support staff, and a case management system that minimises the use of paper. In addition, we have an award winning marketing team to help generate leads and deal with initial enquiries.

As you’d expect, the core of your work will focus on: Wills, Estate and inheritance planning, Probate, complex estates and administration, LPAs, and Trusts.
