Private Client Lawyer

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 09:27:49 GMT

This is a really exciting opportunity for an experienced Private Client Solicitor or Lawyer, looking to take their career to the next level. For the right person, this could be the chance to step up into a Senior Associate level role for the first time, or it could also be an opportunity for someone more experienced, who is looking to work within a close-knit, modern and proactive environment. Working within a team environment, you would be working closely with the Head of Department, as well as two other fee-earners in the Taunton office, with work also coming in from another location from time to time. The work is broad, and will include estate administration work, wills, trusts, estate planning and lasting powers of attorney / court of protection matters. Some of the clients that the firm attracts are often high-net-worth people, with complicated matters to get your teeth stuck into. The team are highly busy, with a regular stream of work coming in, but not in a position currently to service the demand, so it should be relatively easy to grow a caseload, particularly if you already have contacts in the local area, but even without that, there's a great opportunity to get billing quickly. The firm offers hybrid working, with lots of flexibility to work from either of their two offices, but also the chance to work from home for parts of the week, once settled into the role. What I really like about this firm is the people... it's a modern and forward-thinking environment, with a commercial feel to the firm, but without the demands and high-pressured environment you can get at some of the larger and more corporate firms.

Matter types to include:

Estate administration work
Wills
Trusts
Estate planning
Lasting powers of attorney
Court of protection matters

Skills and experience sought:

At least 3 PQE and above, although we're keen to speak with more senior lawyers
A broad background within Private Client work
A credible and proactive approach
We're looking for someone who enjoys a team environment

Benefits:

25 days holiday + Bank Holidays
Closed between Christmas and New Year
Pension scheme
Attractive bonus scheme
Free lunch on the firm, once per week
Free soup and smoothies at a local shop

To apply, please submit your application or alternatively please contact James at Aspiria Legal (contact details on the Aspiria Legal website)

Residential Property Lawyer

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 09:27:38 GMT

This is a great opportunity for a qualified residential property lawyer to join a modern, forward-thinking, flexible and dynamic law firm in Taunton, which is known for its approachable and innovative values, but also for its commitment to building strong relationships with clients and the wider community. This is a smaller regional firm, which really punches above its weight, with some great people in the team. They have an extremely flexible approach to working life, with many of their team working from home for large parts of the week, or having flexible hours to allow for outside-of-work commitments. We definitely see this firm as one of the more attractive and modern boutique firms to work for, as their offering can compete with some of their larger competitors.

This role will allow someone to join an established team, led by an inspirational, yet fair and grounded leader, with a cohesive team that enjoys working together. The firm can consider people at all levels, but could really do with someone who is relatively self-sufficient. While there will absolutely be support and development opportunities available, the team will benefit from someone who can also move matters forward without too much hand-holding. On the more senior end, there is an opportunity to continue growing and potentially even move towards partnership within the firm.

Skills and experience sought:

A qualified residential conveyancing lawyer, although we're also keen to speak with more senior lawyers
A broad background within residential property work
A credible and proactive approach
We're looking for someone who enjoys a team environment

Benefits:

25 days holiday + Bank Holidays
Closed between Christmas and New Year
Pension scheme

Recruitment Consultant

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 13:33:13 GMT

We at Aspiria Legal are excited to be hiring for a new recruitment consultant to join our team and launch our recruitment offering in a new geographical location, although still working here in Exeter with us. Up to now, we have been focused on recruiting into Exeter, Plymouth and Bristol, but we now look to expand our reach!

We’re looking for someone with a special personality, who loves helping people and doing the right thing by their clients and candidates, in offering the very highest levels of service. We are looking for someone highly credible, with a positive, upbeat and energetic personality, who can build long-term relationships with clients and candidates, and build a reputation for being the “go to” recruiter within our sector, for their location. We have a model that works, which we can train and develop. The job can be fun and rewarding, although we need someone resilient, who can also deal with the setbacks that invariably come with the job.

Based out of our Exeter office on Marsh Barton, we offer hybrid working, generally working 2-3 days in the office and 2-3 days from home.

We are a small team of two people, so this would be working with a close-knit environment, but with lots of flexibility, trust, autonomy and also support.

We offer a solid basic salary, as well as an exciting commission scheme, to allow people to earn an exciting overall package. However, we also work “smart”, allowing for lots of flexibility. We occasionally take calls outside of work time, but in return, you receive a lot of trust and autonomy… and you won’t be micro-managed, so we are after someone with inner drive, who can motivate themselves.

We have three values within the business, which are being “Honest, Supportive and Giving”, aiming to give more value to people than they typically expect, leaving a great impression on everyone we come into contact with. We need someone who can live these values and really believe in the approach of the business.

Main Job Responsibilities:

Working with a range of law firms to support their recruitment.
Writing effective job advertisements, to share on our website, job boards and LinkedIn.
Building a network of lawyers/candidates.

Being proactive for candidates, approaching law firms and organisations they could potentially work for, to generate interest.
Supporting candidates through interview processes, offering advice, support and guidance, and ultimately offering them the best chances of securing a role with our clients.
Helping candidates write CVs and putting together “candidate profile summaries” to share with our clients.
Updating and upkeeping our database.
Promoting Aspiria Legal on social media and with networking.
Writing social media content, including blogs, posts and job adverts to share.

Skills and experience sought:

Someone highly credible, extremely likeable and with a good sense of humour.
Some previous experience or exposure to the legal sector or professional services would be an advantage.
Excellent writing skills and English grammar and punctuation.
An excellent communicator, withthe ability to talk to senior partners within law firms, but who can adapt and speak to people at all levels.
A positive energy, and the drive to motivate themselves.

Hours and Benefits:

Monday to Friday (09:00 – 17:00), generally with 2-3 days in the office in Exeter, and the rest from home.
25 days annual leave, plus Christmas and NY period “off work” (although need to be available to support candidates and clients ad hoc over Christmas and NY).
A flexible and trusted work-life.
