Aperçu — adapté à Reed
Dear Hiring Manager,
Private client law — specifically the drafting of complex Wills and the administration of probate estates — is where I have focused my legal career, making this Private Client Solicitor opportunity at your Braintree firm a natural next step. Your commitment to funding STEP qualification and offering a genuine path to Partner reflects exactly the environment in which I want to develop.
My background in private client practice has given me hands-on experience across the full spectrum of Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and probate matters, including estates with significant Inheritance Tax considerations and discretionary trust structures. I have also begun to take on supervisory responsibility for junior fee-earners, a role I am keen to expand as I progress towards a senior position.
