Requirements:

Proven experience with high-value, cross-border probate disputes
A strategic mindset and enthusiasm for business development
Existing client relationships or a strong network within the field
Leadership experience and the ability to mentor a growing team

What we offer:

Up to £100,000, plus performance bonuses
