Contentious Trusts & Probate Senior Associate, Bristol

Fast growing Bristol firm has an exciting opening for an experienced Contentious Trusts & Probate lawyer to join their Tier 1 ranked team.

Our client is financially robust, well respected and progressively minded with an exciting 2025 in prospect.

Seeking to bolster what is already a very well-regarded contentious trusts, probate and private client litigation offering, the firm is now looking for an experienced senior associate.

The firm's successful CTP team advises clients on a broad range of matters including all types of inheritance disputes including applications contesting the validity of wills, applications to remove Executors, claims for reasonable financial provision under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975 and the rectification of Wills and breach of trust claims as well as contentious Court of Protection applications.

With ideally a minimum of 4 years PQE (although applications are welcomed from lawyers with more or less experience than this) you'll be acting on behalf of an established client base of private individuals and their families, landed clients and national charities.
An ACTAPS qualification would be welcomed although the firm will support anyone who wishes to achieve this qualification.

The firm can offer an excellent range of work, clear opportunities within the team to progress quickly, close support and a friendly, flexible and team orientated culture.
