As a Graduate Paralegal – Will Drafter, you'll play a key role in helping to prepare precise, legally sound estate planning documents, learning how to ensure clarity, compliance, and accuracy at every stage. Working alongside our experienced legal and estate planning teams, you'll develop a deep understanding of will-writing while supporting clients through what can often be a complex and emotive process.

Beyond drafting, you'll be part of a forward-thinking team driving innovation in estate planning. We foster a dynamic, supportive environment where curiosity, adaptability, and ambition are valued. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate to build the foundations of a long-term legal career, with full training, mentorship, and genuine scope to grow with the business.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the drafting of wills, LPAs, and estate planning documents based on client instructions and legal best practices
• Assist with reviewing and revising will drafts to ensure accuracy, clarity, and compliance with relevant laws
• Work closely with legal teams to learn how complex estate planning needs are managed
• Build your knowledge of will-writing regulations, inheritance laws, and industry best practices
• Maintain strict confidentiality and data security when handling client information

Our Mission

Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.

Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one.

Death can come between us, leaving mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen.

Benefits

• Octopus share incentive scheme.
• Hybrid working (London Bridge).
• Flexible holiday + extra day off for your Birthday.
• Work from anywhere in the world for up to 4 weeks per year.
• Vitality Health & Life Insurance.

• Breakfast every day, snacks and wellness activities.

We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

The Role

We’re on a mission to revolutionise Probate and Estate Planning by building a more human, tech-enabled legal experience - and we’re looking for a hands-on, passionate Private Client Solicitor to join us on the journey.

You’ll be joining the legal arm of Octopus Legacy, working at the heart of our Probate service. From day one, you’ll take ownership of a diverse caseload, primarily focused on probate and estate administration, with the opportunity to expand into trusts and estate planning over time.

This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced Private Client Solicitor ready to leave the traditional law firm model behind. You’ll join our expanding legal team to introduce fresh ideas, streamline processes, and challenge the status quo.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work cross-functionally between Octopus Legacy and our subsidiary Octopus Legal Services.
• Manage a portfolio of probate matters, demonstrating expertise in complex grant-only and administration cases.
• Act as a key client contact from the outset, leading initial calls and fostering trust throughout the process through clear and empathetic communication.
• Support estate planning work, including complex wills, with opportunities to work on trusts where relevant.
• Help us build and refine scalable legal processes - contributing to templates, resources, and the evolution of how we do things.
• Collaborate across the wider Octopus Legacy and Octopus Legal Services teams, sharing insights and working together to provide a seamless client journey.
• Be open to ad hoc projects and responsibilities that come with being part of a fast-moving, high-growth team.

Who Are You?

• A qualified Private Client Solicitor focused on Probate with 3+ years PQE.
• Organised and proactive, with a calm, confident approach to managing your workload and juggling priorities.
• Capacity to thrive under pressure and effectively manage competing demands.
• Excited by the opportunity to help shape a new way of delivering legal services, breaking away from the grind - this is still law, but not as you know it.
• Looking for something different to the traditional firm model - more ownership, more learning, and less red tape.
• Full TEP membership (preferable).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Confidence and passion to develop our offerings in this area.
• Ability to explain complex legal concepts in a clear and understandable manner.
• High levels of compassion, discretion, and care.
