Aperçu — adapté à Reed
Dear Hiring Manager,
Private Client law, specifically the drafting of complex Wills and the administration of Probate matters, is where I have focused my practice since qualification — which is precisely why this Solicitor role at your Braintree firm caught my attention. With 3 years of post-qualification experience handling LPA registrations, multi-asset estate administrations and Inheritance Tax planning, I am confident I can contribute meaningfully from day one.
My background in Private Client work spans a broad caseload of individual and high-net-worth clients, including complex testamentary instructions involving discretionary trusts and blended family arrangements. I have also taken on informal supervisory responsibilities for paralegals, reviewing file progress and providing guidance on procedural matters, and I am keen to formalise that aspect of my role.
