Aperçu — adapté à Reed
Dear Hiring Manager,
Private client law is the area where I have built my practice since qualification, and the opportunity to join your award-winning Peterborough firm as a Private Client Solicitor/Senior Associate is one I am keen to pursue. With 3+ years of post-qualification experience across wills, probate, and trust administration, I have a strong track record of meeting fee-earning targets and delivering technically sound advice to a varied client base.
My background in private client work has equipped me with the skills to manage complex estates independently whilst supporting junior colleagues in developing their own expertise — precisely the dual responsibility your advert describes. I am comfortable working to billing targets and credit control arrangements, and I take a structured approach to file management that keeps matters progressing efficiently.
