Private Client Partner – Taunton

The Opportunity

Our client is recognised nationally for its outstanding private client practice, with an exceptional reputation for delivering tailored advice to high-net-worth individuals, families, landowners, and business owners. This is a rare opportunity to lead and shape the private client offering from the firm’s Taunton office, building on the strong foundations already in place.

With the Taunton office identified as a key growth hub, you will play a pivotal role in driving the practice forward. Working alongside talented colleagues, you will inherit an established client base while also being encouraged to develop and grow your own portfolio through networking and business development.

• Wills and succession planning
• Estate administration and probate
