Private Client Lawyer – Darlington

Established Multi-Service Yorkshire Firm | New Office Opening | Help Build Something New

The Opportunity

A well-established Yorkshire law firm with over 250 members of staff is opening a brand new office in Darlington and is looking for experienced Private Client lawyers to join the team and help grow the practice from the ground up.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of something new – almost a blank slate – where you can genuinely make your mark and help shape the future of the office.

About the Firm

• Multi-service law firm with 250+ staff across Yorkshire
• Strong reputation and well-established client base
• Great culture with lovely people and a supportive leadership team
• Genuine opportunities to progress and develop your career
• Brand new office space, conveniently located very close to Darlington station

The Role

You'll be handling a full range of Private Client work including:

• Wills
• Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs)
• Probate
• Full spectrum of Private Client matters

The Private Client department is incredibly busy, so there's plenty of work to come into. That said, if you have strong contacts and connections in the Darlington/North East region, that would be very much welcomed as you help to build and grow the office.

What We're Looking For

• Experienced Private Client lawyers (Solicitor, Legal Executive, or equivalent)
• Strong technical ability across wills, LPAs, probate, and general Private Client matters
• Someone who relishes the opportunity to help build and grow a practice
• Ideally with regional connections, but not essential
• A team player who thrives in a supportive, collaborative environment

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary depending on level of experience
• The chance to be part of a new office from day one
• Genuine autonomy and opportunity to shape the practice
• Supportive leadership and a firm that invests in its people
• Excellent office location close to Darlington station
• Career progression opportunities within a growing firm

About Darlington

The new office is situated very close to Darlington station, offering excellent transport links and easy access for commuters.
