Remote Contentious Probate Solicitor

I’m keen to connect with Contentious Probate Solicitors (3+ years’ PQE) who are looking to take the next step within a nationally recognised, specialist-only contentious probate firm. If you’re currently handling a mix of private client and contentious work or you’re in a larger litigation team where contentious probate is just one of many practice areas, this is an opportunity to immerse yourself fully in your specialism. The Firm This is a boutique firm dedicated exclusively to contentious wills, trusts and estates. There is no non-contentious private client work, enabling lawyers to build genuine depth and technical excellence in this complex and fast-growing area. The firm has developed a strong national reputation for: • High-quality inheritance and estate disputes, • Technical excellence, • A pragmatic, resolution-focused approach, • Compassionate client care in sensitive matters Equally important is its culture. The leadership team has built an environment based on trust, flexibility and long-term sustainability. Flexible working isn’t an add-on, it’s embedded. Lawyers are supported to work remotely or on a hybrid basis, with genuine flexibility around hours where needed. This makes it an outstanding option for those balancing family commitments or seeking a more sustainable long-term career path. The Role You will join an established and growing team of specialists, handling a busy caseload of high-quality contentious probate matters. Significant hands-on experience is essential. This role is suited to someone who has spent at least three years focused primarily on contentious probate, not simply occasional exposure. The caseload will include: • Will and inheritance disputes, • Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, • Trust and estate disputes, • Capacity and validity challenges, • Executor and trustee disputes You will be trusted to manage matters independently, with support from experienced colleagues when needed. Why This Opportunity Stands Out ✅ Specialist-only contentious probate practice ✅ Genuine work-life balance and flexibility ✅ Remote and hybrid working as standard ✅ Clear, realistic pathway to Partnership ✅ Collaborative culture with no internal competition ✅ Strong pipeline of high-quality work ✅ A firm that values wellbeing and long-term careers Whether you’re a mid-level solicitor wanting to deepen your expertise or a more experienced lawyer seeking flexibility without sacrificing quality or progression, this role can be shaped around your career goals. About You • 3+ years’ PQE with strong contentious probate experience, • Confident managing cases independently, • Strong technical skills and sound judgment, • Empathetic and client-focused, • Comfortable working autonomously within a supportive structure This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading specialist practice combining excellent work with genuine flexibility and a deeply human culture.
