Unsere Tipps für Ihre Bewerbung
5 recommandations générées par notre IA pour maximiser vos chances.
⭐ Lead your Personal Statement with your PQE level and the breadth of Private Client work you cover — the advert explicitly requires the 'whole remit' including tax, probate, trusts and Court of Protection.
📊 Quantify your caseload: e.g. 'Managed a caseload of 80+ active Private Client matters including 30 estate administrations valued at over £2M'.
🎯 Mention STEP membership or progress towards it prominently — the advert flags it as ideal, so even part-qualification (STEP Foundation) is worth highlighting.
🌐 Note your hybrid working experience if relevant, as the firm is open to hybrid arrangements — frame this as evidence of autonomous, organised practice.
🤝 Reference any experience with vulnerable clients or Court of Protection specifically, as this is listed as a core requirement and differentiates candidates at this PQE level.

Aperçu — adapté à Reed
Dear Hiring Manager,
Private Client law at a firm that genuinely invests in its people is exactly where I want to take my career — which is why this role at your East Cambridgeshire practice stood out immediately. With over two years' PQE covering wills drafting, estate administration, trusts and Court of Protection applications, I am confident I can contribute across the full remit your Private Client department requires from day one.
My background in Private Client practice has equipped me to manage a varied caseload independently, advising clients on Inheritance Tax planning, administering complex estates and preparing Lasting Powers of Attorney. I am currently progressing towards my STEP qualification, which has deepened my technical knowledge of trust structures and cross-border estate issues.
