🎯 Mention any specialist training or CPD courses in Private Client law, as the advert specifically flags support with 'further training and specialist courses' as a selling point — mirror this language to show alignment.
🌐 If you hold an LLB, LPC or SQE qualification, state it clearly alongside your NQ status — the role targets NQ solicitors and the firm values progression to Partner.
🤝 Reference your experience supporting senior fee earners or solicitors directly, as the role is explicitly a support function — frame this as collaborative legal delivery rather than solo practice.
