Burnetts is one of the most progressive law firms in the North of England and have not only achieved awards for being a Great Place to Work© each year from 2021, but also hold the accreditations for being one of the UK wide Best Workplaces for Women, for Wellbeing, and for Development.
We are looking to recruit full time Solicitors to join our Wills, Trusts and Probate team, to work from both our Carlisle and/or Cockermouth offices.
Who are we looking for?
Due to the ongoing growth and development of the firm we have exciting opportunities for Solicitors to join our Wills, Trusts & Probate team.
The successful candidates will ideally have a minimum of 5 years PQE (although we would consider less PQE for the right candidates) and have experience of dealing with the preparation of Wills, estate administration, trust matters and powers of attorney.
The successful candidates will have a proactive, ‘can-do’ attitude to enable them to work closely with a team of legal fee-earners, paralegals and legal assistants on all aspects of this work, and may have a fee earning target themselves. The ability to work as part of a team is therefore essential together with excellent communication, organisational and IT skills.
What do we offer?
This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate with the potential of longer-term career advancement in a forward-thinking law firm with a well-established client base. Along with this we will provide you with a competitive salary, pension, 30 days holiday and Private Medical Health Insurance; in addition, we will even give you your birthday off every year too!
Our values of Togetherness, Balanced, Accountable, Progressive and Integrity, help to engender a culture of providing excellent client service within a caring and supportive internal environment.
