Aperçu — adapté à Reed
Dear Hiring Manager,
Private client work — specifically Wills, Trusts, Probate and Administration of Estates — has been the focus of my legal career to date, which is precisely why the Private Client Solicitor/Associate opportunity at your Chichester firm immediately stood out. Your firm's reputation for a defined career path and commitment to STEP-qualified practice aligns directly with my professional development goals.
My background in private client law includes managing a caseload of estate administrations from grant of probate through to final distribution, drafting complex discretionary trusts, and advising high-net-worth clients on inheritance tax mitigation strategies. I am currently working towards my STEP qualification and am keen to develop this specialism further within a firm that actively values it.
